Pre-race routine:

After a light & early breakfast we got to the race sight early and I got my transition set up. Enjoyed watching the sunrise and relaxing for a while before the race. Had a couple of stinger waffles about 45 minutes before the start.

The water was a little rough before the race but started to calm down a bit as it got started. Really enjoyed the swim and felt good throughout.
Transition 1
  • 03m 18s
Comments:

Slower than I'd like. For some reason the running barefoot through transition was a bit more painful. Rougher pavement? Colder feet? Not sure, but it slowed me down a bit. Other than that it went pretty well.
Bike
  • 42m 47s

Comments:

Fantastic course. My goal was to average 20 and I hit that, so I was very happy. Held a nice steady pace and did a lot of passing.
What would you do differently?:

I think I can increase the effort a bit more without effecting my run, so probably push a little harder if riding a similar course.
Transition 2

T2 went well.

Comments:

Felt very good. Left food was a bit numb and cold from the bike but not terrible. Checked my pace after a couple of hundred yards and was right where I wanted to be. Started to push my pace after the turn around.

5k PR ! That felt great to do that in a tri.
Post race
Warm down:

Found my wife and then got some food. Stayed around the finish to cheer on some other finishers and a few other racers I knew.

Event comments:

I've done a half marathon at this location as well and the volunteers at both that and the tri have been fantastic. Wonderful people and a beautiful location.
