Pre-race routine:

Had a typical breakfast and headed out to the race. Although somehow my bib fell out of my bag in the living room. Wasn't a big deal but when I couldn't find it I got a litte anxious.
Event warmup:

Are you suppose to warm up for these?
Swim
  • 21m 58s
  • 875 yards
  • 02m 31s / 100 yards
Comments:

This swim was great. I felt strong throughout the whole swim. I am disappointed in my time considering how good I felt. The course looked long to just about everybody on shore before the race and this proved to be true. Looking at the winners swim times they were about 20 - 30 seconds slower than 2009. 2010 weather was awful and extremely choppy.
What would you do differently?:

Keep swimming.
Transition 1
  • 03m 3s
Comments:

Better than most of my previous transitions.
Bike
  • 51m 48s
  • 14 miles
  • 16.22 mile/hr
Comments:

I am very happy with this ride. I took off over 8 minutes from my time last year on this course. Wind conditions were similar so I feel pretty good that it is a good comparison. I was pushing pretty good, and the hills still killed me. The course did not feel as hard as it did last year.
Transition 2
  • 01m 49s
Comments:

Need to keep improving.
Run
  • 33m 12s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 10m 41s  min/mile
Comments:

I am ok with this run, it is about right for what I am capable of right now. It was 30 sec per mile faster than last year.
What would you do differently?:

I need to learn how to push my self earlier during 5K both in Tris and stand-alone. I have been getting faster with each mile but the first is always too slow to get me under 30 minutes.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around a bit, and drank abunch of water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I have put on some weight in July and August. I need to get that off plus some more. I am finding that easier said than done. Too many cook-out and parties during the summer.

Event comments:

I was really excited about my time, over 10 minutes faster than last year. While I was only 8/9 in AG the AG was pretty competitive compared to other races I have been in.
Second time doing the race and I will be back. I only wish the labeled Bike racks as it was a pain having athletes try to squeeze bike in.
