Pre-race routine:

4am wakeup, went down stairs, drank some water and an FRS energy drink. Also ate 2 eggs and a piece of toast with peanut butter. Took a dump, got dressed, out the door by 5am
Event warmup:

Didn't really do much warmup. I spent most of my time prepping my area and just preparing myself. Did some light stretching. Was excited to get started.

Comments:

Swim went pretty well. At first glance,it seemed like a long distance, but once in the throws of it, it went pretty fast. My pace was better than I expected.
Transition 1
  • 04m 34s
Comments:

Was pretty winded coming out of the water. Once I walked it off a little, I was able to pick up the pace. I think I had things organized well
Bike
  • 1h 01m 21s
  • 18.64 miles
  • 18.23 mile/hr
Comments:

Dropped my water bottle coming out of T1 and didn't have any water with me. Luckily the bike was only an hour so I didn't care as much. There are definitely stronger bikers than me on the course. I would like to improve on this.
What would you do differently?:

Focus more on the bike portion during training.
Transition 2
  • 02m 34s
Comments:

T2 went really smooth. Decided to run with the water bottle since I didn't have any water with me during the bike.
Run
  • 58m 4s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 09m 21s  min/mile
Comments:

Need to work on speed. Didn't push myself super hard, mostly because I was worried about cramping. And of course, I was worried about cramping because I didn't have any water during the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Not dropped any water bottles during the bike leg.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched and walked around. Rehydrated and looked for food.

Event comments:

Overall, a great first triathlon. I'm happy with how I did and I will want to try to do better next year.
