Pre-race routine:

Up early-ate oatmeal and drank water. Set up transition area-spent too much time there-kept second quessing myself.

Swam a little since this was my first ocean swim.

  • 01m 37s / 100 yards
Comments:

Choppy but fun. Concentrated on form and breathing with the waves-trying not to swallow too much water.
What would you do differently?:

Open water practices
Transition 1
  • 02m 5s
Comments:

Took my time gettion out of wetsuit-I'm used to a longer run to transition area so I wasn't prepared to be at my bike so soon. Cobblestones made it difficult to get into clips.
What would you do differently?:

Would have kept my shoes clipped to my pedals like I usually do rather than run in the bike shoes

Focused on having fun and keeping cadence high. Muscles on inside of legs became extremely sore.
What would you do differently?:

nothing

Comments:

Relaxed during T2. Did a few things differently but that was OK.
What would you do differently?:

nothing
Run

Comments:

Horrilbe run. More mentally tough than physically tough. Last mile felt uncomfortable-pressure in chest-maybe drank too much on run.
What would you do differently?:

Drink less, better mental preparation
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around-drank gatorade-waited for friend to finish

What limited your ability to perform faster:

the run-mentally psyched myself out

Event comments:
