Pre-race routine:

Woke up and jumped in the truck. Drank coffee and had a Clif Protein Bar. Not a good choice.
Event warmup:

Hung out on the beach.
Swim
  • 11m 41s
  • 437 yards
  • 02m 40s / 100 yards
Comments:

There was a pretty decent cross current and it caused some issues for the buoys. Instead of a straight line it was more like a combination of arcs. I went out too fast and pretty sure I let my form go to sh*t. This swim time includes about a minute to get to the entrance of T1, but I still have have been able to do this 2 minutes fast.
What would you do differently?:

Start slow focus on form, then speed up the cadence.
Transition 1
  • 01m 27s
Comments:

Went well enough. I had goofed off as the swim started, so I was late in the pack. My transition area was pretty clear when I got there.
Bike
  • 27m 49s
  • 9.32 miles
  • 20.10 mile/hr
Comments:

I think this went pretty well. My goal was to avg 20 mph, so that worked out.
What would you do differently?:

Get back into consistent training so I can go faster.
Transition 2
  • 01m
Comments:

Went fine.
Run
  • 24m 49s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 59s  min/mile
Comments:

This went well enough. I hadn't been running much since May due to having a new baby, so this was good enough.
What would you do differently?:

Train more consistently and run faster.
Post race
Warm down:

Grabbed a couple of waters and hung out to watch friends finish.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training.

Event comments:

This is a good small race. Great for wanting to get in and get out quickly.
