Pre-race routine:

Got their early, picked up packet, staged transition.
Event warmup:

Got in the water about 15 minutes before wave start. New this swim was going to be disastrous as I had not swam in over 2 months since my last tri. Was just going to try and make the best of it all and enjoy the day
Swim
  • 29m 40s
  • 1640 yards
  • 01m 49s / 100 yards
Comments:

just bad as expected
What would you do differently?:

train lots more
Transition 1
  • 01m 34s
Comments:

Long run to transition, actually helped me make up for a terrible swim, probably gained a little time of the rest of the field, swim was actually much worse than shown.
Bike
  • 34m 55s
  • 12 miles
  • 20.62 mile/hr
Comments:

Decent bike leg, not much biking for the last two months either. It is funny how life takes you for a spin, especially during moving. Thought I had gotten some time on the bike but looking back at my logs you can see that I just did not put in the time as I have been focused on salvaging my run.
What would you do differently?:

Train more on the bike, getting in at least some shorter rides during the week.
Transition 2
  • 01m 17s
Run
  • 22m 2s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 05s  min/mile
Comments:

surprised with my run time and came across feeling good, probably because of such a sub par swim. Anyway wanted to finish feeling good and to be ready for a 15K and a 1/2 marathon coming up over the next 7 weeks. Hoping for good times then.
What would you do differently?:

Probably not much
Post race
Warm down:

Caught up with a couple of friends, chatted a bit, and came home

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of swim training, sighting deficiences, had not scouted course beforehand

Event comments:

Overall seemed like a good race, given the amount of competitors, could have been a little better post race but still very well for the amount of people there. I think I heard over 1400 total men and women.
