Pre-race routine:

Driving. It was a long drive from home... Ate light in the car.

Tried a run. I was 1 day since the IL half marathon, quads were pretty sore.
Swim

Comments:

Solid swim.
What would you do differently?:

Enter faster swim time. I tried to change it but was to late.
Transition 1
  • 01m 20s
Comments:

I did OK. I decided to put on run watch which took extra time. I also fumbled with bike gloves. After I reached the start line I wasted to much time getting on bike, and getting going.
What would you do differently?:

Position pedals for a quick start.
Bike

Comments:

Got behind a slow moving farm truck at one point and couldnt get around it until it turned.
Transition 2
  • 00m 44s
Comments:

Made transition quickly
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Went well.
Run
  • 29m 43s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 09m 31s  min/mile
Comments:

Course was not marked well, and not marked at all in 1 spot. Several of us ran to far and came out in the middle of nowhere. This added about .5 miles to our run. In addition we stood around debating on what course of action to take. This killed my run time.
What would you do differently?:

Scope out run course before race if possible.
Post race
Event comments:

They had several confusing and 1 unmarked turn on a trail run in a park. The race director said the un-marked turn was marked at race start... They really needed a volunteer or two out in that park.

Course: Zigzag pool swim. Had to pass a lot of swimmers in pool. After last lap you had to exit on a platform, run up steps, out onto deck, around corner, and up a path into transition. When I ran out onto the deck I wasnt sure which way to the stairs. You couldnt see a way out and there was no signage to indicate.
