Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 5. Didn't eat except a gel 15 minutes before race.
Event warmup:

If you include scrambling around trying to find the goggles I lost a warmup then that's what I did. Had to send someone home to pick up a spare set I have.
Swim
  • 24m 3s
  • 1640 yards
  • 01m 28s / 100 yards
Comments:

Felt my swim was slower than the last one. Actually stayed pretty consistent with the last (13 seconds faster than last OLY on this course)


What would you do differently?:

Nothing really. Maybe I'll get a little quicker with training but really would be pretty happy with staying consistent with my times.
Transition 1
  • 01m 2s
Comments:

T1 was good. Pretty congested as I was getting out of the water with a lot of the last groups of the sprint distance race.
What would you do differently?:

One day I'll give the rubber bands on my shoes a try. Until then I'm happy with my transition
Bike
  • 1h 09m 19s
  • 24.85 miles
  • 21.51 mile/hr
Comments:

Overall great ride for me. Upped my speed from 3 weeks ago by 2 mph. Had to deal with an older hillbilly in a truck and 4 round abouts. For some reason she thought a yield sign meant stop. Backed off to 12 mph at best through each round about but better than crash. Also got passed with 4-5 miles to go so I let up to let the gentleman go so I didn't get any drafting penalties. After passing me he slowed way down and I coasted in at about 19 mph the last few miles
What would you do differently?:

Probably pass the guy who passed by me then slowed down at the end. Overall very happy with my bike ride.
Transition 2
  • 03m 3s
Comments:

So disappointed with my T2. My bike time was a little quicker than I'm used to and I didn't recognize any bikes near my rack. Ran past my rack then had to back track to rack my bike. Putting my shoes on I lost a strap off the bottom of one of my Yankz laces. Pretty much whatever could go wrong did for me on this transition
What would you do differently?:

Is it okay to mark your rack with chalk in front of the rack? If so something like that would be in order so I don't space on where my rack is
Run
  • 50m 39s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 08m 10s  min/mile
Comments:

Did good on my run. First 4 miles were in the 750-8 range. Took gatorade instead of water at the 4 mile water station. Not normally a deal but it was the powdered mix and tasted like straight sugar. Stomach couldn't handle it and I ended up having to get rid of it (puke) a half mile later. After stopping the last mile and a half were tough to get into rhythm
What would you do differently?:

Not drink gatorade.
Post race
Warm down:

Lots of water and a yoohoo.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I'm a bonehead and need to pay better attention to what's going on around me

Event comments:

Drc puts on good races. They're the only one's I've done but couldn't imagine it being much better. I do wish they wouldn't have opened the beer garden until the OLY was finished. Beer was gone before I got any. No bueno!
