Pre-race routine:

Up at 3:45. Drove 1:45 hours. Ate bagel with peanut butter and a coffee on the road. Unpacked gear and set up transistion. Air was a little chilly but not too bad. Ive raced in a lot worse.
Event warmup:

Nothing other than stayed walking around the YMCA to stay warm. Saw some riding out on the road with out any lights. Way too dark to get in a preride.

Comments:

Swim went good. Never my strong suit but I did ok. I didn't go all out to keep my hr down but I did swim my fastest 300 time under race conditions.
What would you do differently?:

Caught the two swimmers in front of me but I didn't pass. Figured it would have juiced me to pass and stay ahead so I just drafted.
Transition 1
  • 01m 43s
Comments:

First race w/ new tri shoes. I ran barefoot out of T1 instead of duck walking with cleats. Much better time. Mounted bike well and cleared the line.

Comments:

Pass a lot of riders. Only got passed once (by another Cervelo so that's ok). Never rode this route before so I held back some. Can go harder next time.
What would you do differently?:

Hammer a bit more. I left some on the table.
Transition 2
  • 01m 8s
Comments:

Good T2. Ran without socks this time. Elastic laces worked good.
What would you do differently?:

Run after putting on shoes. I stood still while attaching belt and hat. Can do that while moving.
Run
  • 33m 46s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 10m 52s  min/mile
Comments:

Had a good pace going until halfway. Knees started hurting and I had to hobble back to the finish. I had plenty in the tank but the knees limit me.

What would you do differently?:

May knee brace for the next race.
Post race
Warm down:

Refueled
