Pre-race routine:

wake up, show up. I love du's...from a prep perspective you wouldn't think removing the swim is such a time-saver, but it is.
Event warmup:

a few strides and stretches
Run

  • 2.9 miles

Comments:

Advertised as 3mi and mapmyrun.com agrees...but my Garmin showed 0.95 at the 1mi cone...and that made more sense to me. I was NOT running at 5:50 pace at that point...and my assessment of a short course based on benchmark people in last year's event was confirmed. I'd intended to hit 6:20mpm pace and that works out to 2.9mi so that's what I'm claiming.

What would you do differently?:

more run training
Transition 1

Comments:

Zoomtastic, despite a front end that was 4cm lower than I normally ride and a saddle nose that gradually crept south as I rolled along. Never got to an unridable state so I just typewriter'd it a little more than usual. First race where I recorded (but did not pace myself with) power data. Pleasantly surprised at the results. 23.8mph @ 235W and I hit T2 pretty much spent.

What would you do differently?:

not change saddles the night before
Transition 2
  • 00m 41s
Comments:

relay handoff to my 10yo son...bib# (on belt) fumbled a tad, but chip transfer was spot-on. slightly slow on bike racking...approached rack on wrong side of bike.
What would you do differently?:

walk through the racking sequence befor ethe race...normally do this, forgot this time.
Run

  • 1 miles
  • 08m 22s  min/mile
Comments:

not bad for a kid who was jogging along for 10-12 minutes/mi on the treadmill for a couple days before the race. adrenaline is a magical thing.
What would you do differently?:

nothing
Post race
Warm down:

walk around until the HR came down

What limited your ability to perform faster:

short distance intensity training - lack thereof

Event comments:

great family-friendly format for the relay-minded, with that short R2. and what a cool venue.
