 		Total Time = 1h 45m 14s
Overall Rank = 237/402
Age Group = Master Clydes
Age Group Rank = 6/14
Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 5:15am at the hotel, a little breakfast and then to the site. Arrived about 5:50am, got parked, unloaded, and made the trek to the site about 1 mile away.
Event warmup:

Took the bike for about a 3 mile ride to shake it down from being in the car. Nothing major.
Swim
  • 23m 43s
  • 820 yards
  • 02m 53s / 100 yards
Comments:

Swim felt a lot longer than 820 yards, typically even in open water can attain way less than 2 min and 30 seconds/100, not today, even with much more swimming this year.
What would you do differently?:

Swim more
Transition 1
  • 01m 50s
Comments:

Pretty good transition, first in my division, stayed out of my shoes a little too long and it may have cost me a few seconds overall, but nothing too bad.
What would you do differently?:

not much, continue to do well in T1
Bike
  • 54m 3s
  • 17.5 miles
  • 19.43 mile/hr
Comments:

Pushed pretty hard I thought, but thinking back I was more focused on being able to train tomorrow for B2B.
What would you do differently?:

Pushed harder on the bike, probably gave away 2 minutes on the bike.
Transition 2
  • 01m 18s
Comments:

Lost some time coming into transition getting behind a couple of people and also lost my water bottle that I had to go back and get. Thought twice about leaving it but was glad I had it for the run. 5th in T2 in age group, lost about 10 seconds with the water bottle fiasco.
What would you do differently?:

Not drop my water?? Push harder on the bike too not get behind others coming into transition.
Run
  • 24m 21s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 50s  min/mile
Comments:

again did not push as hard as possible as I have a 10 mile run tomorrow but still pushed the pace pretty good, maybe could have come in about 30 seconds quicker but it was hot and muggy.
What would you do differently?:

not much
Post race
Warm down:

walked around had two slices of pizza, two bottles of water

What limited your ability to perform faster:

distance training versus speed

Event comments:

pretty good race, alot of people on a smaller course. quite a bit of drafting witnessed on the bike course, still amazes me that more penalties are not handed out though.
