Pre-race routine:

Me and Dad drove to the race, and I already had my packet so I just got marked and set up my transition and tried to stay hydrated.
NOTE: If you dislike stone bruises on the bottom of your feet, put sandals down by the swim exit.
Event warmup:

100m swim
Swim
  • 13m 43s
  • 600 meters
  • 02m 17s / 100 meters
Comments:

Pretty drastic improvement here. I would have had a much better swim but the first 150m or so were real rough, just nervousness I guess. The time includes the run up to transition, so I actually came out of the water at like 12:50(long run).
What would you do differently?:

Warm up more maybe?
Transition 1
  • 02m 20s
Comments:

This was a wierd race design. Swim-bike-run-bike-run. So there were four transitions. The time for this one is the combined time of both bike transitions.

Overall pretty good.
Bike
  • 39m 48s

  • 19.30 mile/hr
Comments:

Definately the hilliest course that I do. However, the fact that the bike was split up probably slowed me here, because I never got into a good groove.
What would you do differently?:

Hill repeats.
Transition 2
  • 02m 5s
Comments:

Pretty decent here, but I had a hard time getting into my running shoes both times and I almost did the run with my helmet on.
What would you do differently?:

nada
Run
  • 21m 22s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 06m 53s  min/mile
Comments:

Did pretty good here for almost no 5k training in the last 6 mos. I was really pleased with the second split.
What would you do differently?:

Do more track workouts, like one maybe.
Post race
Warm down:

nada, just stretching and riding the bike back to my car.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of race specific training; I am probably much better suited to an Olympic distance race right now.

Event comments:

Pretty good overall, but the awards ceremony started really late. But it was worth it because I had a GREAT RACE and I got some HARDWARE! The most important thing to me is that I improved tons over last years race.
