Pre-race routine:

The usual + nerves :)
Event warmup:

Swam about 125yds I could have done more but I just wanted to feel the water. My wave didnt start for about half an hour after the first wave. So "warmup" didn't count.
No running
no bike

Maybe a light jog at the house pre race to get the blood flowing.

Comments:

Couldn't get a good breathing pattern
Felt really awkward = nerves...imagine that...
What would you do differently?:

Started more aggresively. I had a good time, but bad positioning from the starting point. If I would have sprinted out the front I wouldn't have had to fight that hard. The frenzy wore me out.
Transition 1

Comments:

I felt like I did really well
I was the actual disoriented feeling that took a while, but the change went pretty good. I just trotted instead of ran.
What would you do differently?:

RUN!!!

Comments:

Pleased I guess. This whole road biking thing is really new to me. I like it...but I need to ride more.
What would you do differently?:

Need more time on the road. I need sustained speed work. GET COMPUTER NEXT!!!!!
Transition 2
  • 01m 41s
Comments:

Ouch

What would you do differently?:

Nothing just train more for aftershock
Run
  • 27m 51s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 57s  min/mile
Comments:

First mile and a half sucked. After mile 2 or so I was fine and I could have run another 3 miles. But that is the evil of a Sprint.
What would you do differently?:

Keep training
Post race
Warm down:

FOOD!!!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

transitioning from one concentration to another.

Event comments:

Great first triathlon. I was overall ok with my performance. I took note of all the little things that would have cut a couple of minutes here and there. I need to increase my intensity. Gave me a great marker for pointing out where I need work.
