Pre-race routine:

ride to packets and transition, eat rest of breakfast 'cause we were up so friggin' early we were in transition start-1.5 hours
set up transition, hangout, potty, then walk to swim start
Event warmup:

swim back'n' forth a few times getting feel for the suit---it's been a while
Swim
  • 18m
  • 875 yards
  • 02m 04s / 100 yards
Comments:

glassy to start before the first wave, forgot how water likes to skip happily into my mouth when I breath during OWS, little trouble keeping straight line felt like I was struggling against my suit a bit until comfortable about 2/3 way thru
What would you do differently?:

buy a wetsuit to practice OWS more
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

sat down to take off of heels, little confusion as to what to don when
What would you do differently?:

practice my transitions so it's muscle memory rather than having to think about it
Bike
  • 40m
  • 10 miles
  • 15.00 mile/hr
Comments:

a good bike for me, came in under what I imagined
really dislike beating a LOT of people out of the water then listening to everybody, their mom, AND grandmothers announcing their passing me
What would you do differently?:

get some bike specific training
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

chatting with The Man as we were in T2 together, puff inhaler, had to pee, on to run
What would you do differently?:

again with the muscle memory rather than having to think about what needs to go where, though it was smoother than T1
Run
  • 40m
  • 3.11 miles
  • 12m 52s  min/mile
Comments:

started okay, then breathing/panic attack troubles started and kept happening off & on throughout, almost stopped completely until AngelJeannette assisted me by "dragging" me out of my mental state and my physical stall
What would you do differently?:

stop the panicky stuff
Post race
Warm down:

walking around, chilly water, little ice bath for feet, yoga sretches.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of training plan and lack of training due to various legitimate reasons and then some plain ole' laziness

Event comments:

a good local race with 250 participants this year
