Pre-race routine:

Up early at Doug's for Clif Bar and Powerade. To the site in plenty of time for decent transition spot and quick run/swim warm ups.
Swim
  • 10m 31s
  • 547 yards
  • 01m 55s / 100 yards
Comments:

Crowded swim. Tried to stay on the inside edge. Should have worn wetsuit, as I think it makes me ~10 seconds per 100m faster, and only takes 15-20 seconds to remove. This short of a swim doesn't have much risk of me overheating from the suit.
Transition 1
  • 00m 58s
Comments:

Slow because I had to put on socks as I had a wound on my right heel that the shoes would further hurt.
Bike
  • 36m 28s
  • 13.5 miles
  • 22.21 mile/hr
Comments:

Felt pretty good, found myself losing concentration from time to time on the straight stretches. Need to focus better.
Transition 2
  • 00m 37s
Run
  • 19m 35s
  • 3 miles
  • 06m 32s  min/mile
Comments:

At the start, had some wheezing/trouble breathing. Once that calmed, it felt pretty smooth.

I need to push myself so there's nothing left in the tank at the end. Overall, I feel I spent too much of the bike and run portion of the race on cruise control.
Post race
Warm down:

Enjoyed hearing how Doug, Rob, and Ben's race went, and chatted with some other racers too. Enjoyed the cold towel and refreshments. Then off to Doug's for our celebratory post-race steak grill-out.

There's nothing better than getting together with a group of old friends and spending a weekend like this! Hope we can keep doing it year to year.

Event comments:

The folks who put on this race do a wonderful job, especially for the size of the race.
