Pre-race routine:

Late start for this race at 9:30 AM. So I got up at about 6:15, ate some cereal and skim milk and drank some G2. Ate a Honey Stinger protein bar while setting up my transition. NO SHOE ISSUES!
Event warmup:

Ran about .5 miles with Tracy's Doug and swam about 300 yards.

Comments:

I swam 2800 yesterday, so I just worked on being smooth and long in the water and not bobbing my head. There was a surprising amount of contact throughout the course. No sun was nice. Could have kept swimming.
What would you do differently?:

Adjust my pace for the shorter distance.
Transition 1
  • 04m 7s
Comments:

Took time to put on arm warmers. Did not have the bike in the right gear so took a little long to get going.

Comments:

Back stiiffened up about 4 mile in. I had to nurse it along. Did not hammer the down hills as much partly because of my back and the wind was an issue with the new wheels. I did not feel comfortable in aero going over 30 mph on the down hills.
Transition 2
  • 01m 30s
Run
  • 1h 03m 27s
  • 6.2 miles
  • 10m 14s  min/mile
Comments:

Fell apart as my hamstrings tightened up. Had to walk some uphills. Tracy helped cheer me on and ran with me on the first turnaround.
What would you do differently?:

Lose more weight. Do more Yoga regularly.

Event comments:

Had a good time. Weird to be racing this distance, especially when training to go long. I think this only my 4th o;ympic. A hard course on a cold day.
