Pre-race routine:

We were late. That has to stop happening. Had a long discussion on the way -perhaps we should take separate cars.
Event warmup:

NONE. No time. I barely made it to the start line at 6:59. HR elevated and way to anxious. Completely off my game.
Swim

Comments:

I thought my time should have been better than this. Oh well.
Transition 1
  • 01m 14s
Comments:

Mount was a mess. I stopped on the line like I didn't know what to do.
What would you do differently?:

Get it together.
Bike
  • 1h 14m 43s
  • 25 miles
  • 20.21 mile/hr
Comments:

Took about 10 miles to get my heart rate settled down. Again, just a terrible start being so rushed.
Transition 2
  • 01m 10s
Comments:

Zoned out and didn't come out of shoes until later than normal. Basically stopped the bike and stepped off. Just terrible mount and dismount today.
Run
  • 1h 10m 44s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 11m 18s  min/mile
Comments:

There wasn't much run to it, which was terrible. I was ready for a good run. I think starting out with a high HR and never really getting it under control set me up for a lousy run with too high of a HR.
Post race
Warm down:

More like cool off. I had cramps in my feet. That was new. My toes were curling under so bad I could not get my flip flops on. Otherwise I felt fine once I was in the shade with a cold drink.

Event comments:

Great people, venue and flat fast course. It was just a crappy day for me and the heat did me in on the run.
