Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 3:30 AM to an impressive thunder and lighting show. Ate some oatmeal, prep'ed my race gear and headed out to T2 at 4:30. Dropped shoes off at T2 (in the rain) and hopped the bus to T1. Prep'ed the bike at T1. The rain stopped just in time for the race.
Swim
  • 31m 47s
  • 2112 yards
  • 01m 30s / 100 yards
Comments:

The swim into the current played to my swim strength. The current + wind created a choppy water surface. All in all a good swim.
Transition 1
  • 03m 33s
Comments:

A long run up to T1.
Bike
  • 2h 29m 2s
  • 56 miles
  • 22.48 mile/hr
Comments:

A solid ride for the first half. Started to lose concentration during the second half of the ride and I kept finding my HR dropping into the low 130s. Had to make a concerted effort to push the bike on the second half.
Transition 2
  • 01m 5s
Run
  • 1h 38m 19s
  • 13.1 miles
  • 07m 32s  min/mile
Comments:

This was a very positive run with a sub 7:30 pace on a moderately hilly course.
Post race
Event comments:

A well organized race - any race with T1 and T2 in different locations present logistic issues.
