Event warmup:

Did a light warm-up on bike and in pool. Warm-up in pool didn't feel as good as I would have liked. I may have carried some of that anxiety into the race with me.
Swim

  • 600 yards
  • 01m 46s / 100 yards
Comments:

Pool was a little warmer than I am used to. Didn't stay as calm as would have liked.
Transition 1
  • 01m 20s
Comments:

Saved over a minute and a half off last year's time by having tri top rather than having to put a top on my wet body, and having a number belt rather than pinned on shirt. Last year my number ripped off twice during T1
Bike
  • 40m 48s
  • 13 miles
  • 19.12 mile/hr
Comments:

Felt pretty good on the bike. WInd was brutal on the way back into town. Felt a little defeated when I guy on a brand new "Specialized" bike with clip pedals passed me at about mile 3. Felt much better when caught sight of him again about mile 10 and blew past him at mile 12. Something to be said for pacing.
Transition 2
  • 01m 1s
Comments:

Made executive decision to go without socks on the run. Worked out pretty good no complaints.

  • 3 miles
  • 08m 49s  min/mile
Comments:

Had a former student teacher of mine blast past me about 200 yds from finish. I'm very happy for him as it was his first Tri.
Gotta find a way to speed up my run. I'm very sick of getting passed on run. BLAAAAHHHHHGGGGGGGG
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around. Eat oranges and drank powerade. Tried not to lose lunch

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I run like a slug. Hee Hee

Event comments:
