Pre-race routine:

This was actually my gift for Father's Day. We drove down from Ohio to Hilton Head for our family vacation. This means I spent 2 days in the car. After racing last weekend I was worried this would have an impact on my race. I think it did a bit on the bike but based on the run it was ok.
Event warmup:

Not much this time. Swam around 100m but that was about it.
Swim
  • 12m 43s
  • 500 yards
  • 02m 32s / 100 yards
Comments:

The swim was about what I would expect. I was not tired just slow. It seems like I have one speed and can go at this pace for awhile. I suppose that is just what it will be until I devote more time to technique.
What would you do differently?:

Not much, just find a way to swim faster.
Transition 1
  • 01m 23s
Comments:

Pretty solid. Had to sit down to get socks on but was still pretty quick.
What would you do differently?:

I need to start cycling without socks.
Bike
  • 43m 9s
  • 13.1 miles
  • 18.22 mile/hr
Comments:

I seem to be having some mechanical issues with the bike that I need to get it sorted out. I had both brakes rub at some point during this ride. I just didn't feel like I had it today on the bike. I would have liked to have been in the 19+ range.
What would you do differently?:

I just need to spend more time in the saddle. Especially before CP in September. I want to be at this average for 56mi.
Transition 2
  • 00m 29s
Comments:

I couldn't be happier with this time and the T2 performance.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing!
Run
  • 25m 15s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 08m 09s  min/mile
Comments:

I am really happy with this time. I was able to run well and maintain a good pace. I am getting more confident in my run ability and getting better each race.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Post race
Warm down:

Did some stretching and walking post race.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I think the travel played an part in my bike time but my run was great so it was a trade.

Event comments:

This was a nice late add to the schedule. If able to be here for another race I would do it again.
