Event warmup:

Had to wait around a long time due to weather conditions. Finally started my swim wave about an hour late.
Swim
  • 30m 44s
  • 1500 yards
  • 02m 03s / 100 yards
Comments:

Best race swim so far. Never had to stop, never felt any nervousness. Still need to work on sighting. I found myself pretty far right of my targets almost every time. I am sure this cost me some time.
What would you do differently?:

Sight better. Swim faster - I know what my winter focus will be this year! Giving way too much time away in the swim.
Transition 1
  • 01m 7s
Comments:

5th fastest T1. Used new Garmin for this race. Took an extra 2-3 seconds to put it on here.
What would you do differently?:

Still have to pry my wetsuit off of my ankles (can't just stomp it off). Getting faster at it though.
Bike
  • 1h 10m 59s
  • 28 miles
  • 23.67 mile/hr
Comments:

Legs felt sluggish for first 2-3 miles. Then was able to pick up the pace. Passed a lot of people (due to my slow swimming).
Transition 2
  • 00m 33s
Comments:

2nd fastest T2.
Run
  • 39m 36s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 06m 23s  min/mile
Comments:

Felt good - loved having my new Garmin to check my pace the entire time. Definitely helped me push the pace when I saw it starting to slow.
Post race
Warm down:

None - they handed out awards while the race was still finishing. Ate a little food, drank a lot of water, received medal, left for home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

MY SWIMMING IS HORRIBLE! I am giving 7+ minutes away to the leaders. Have to improve this.

Event comments:

Great little local race. Miss out on the post race activities - but that is ok with me.
