Pre-race routine:

Wake up at 0500 ate Banana, Greek Yogurt, Bagel with Peanut Butter. I think this is the breakfast for me.
Event warmup:

Not much of a warm up, jumping around a little to keep warm. Quick jaunt through the transition area to drop off my car key before they closed transition.

Comments:

Just a quick run to spread everyone out for the bike start.
What would you do differently?:

Run faster, figured I would pace myself and then everyone passed me
Transition 1
  • 01m 1s
Comments:

I don't have my shoes clipped in so my mount is a little slow, but definitely wasn't going to try that on wet roads.
What would you do differently?:

Not much, note more closely where my bike is racked since there were no markings

Comments:

Took all corners much slower than I normally would have due to the wet road conditions and wind. Went out much easier than I needed to, was planning a long ride later, but then got passed by someone in my age group and picked it up for the second half.
What would you do differently?:

Go out stronger to begin, it's a race! Prep my bike properly, I did not wear my Aero Helmet. I figured it would be too wet and the visor would get in the way, but I could have taken that off. I had a bunch of extra water bottle holders on my bike in prep for the 4 hour bike that was planned later.
Transition 2
  • 01m 27s
Comments:

I got lost in transition. It was open rack and there were no numbers on the racks. Got a little turned around and couldn't find my stuff.
What would you do differently?:

Make a better note of my bike location
Run
  • 25m 14s
  • 3.5 miles
  • 07m 16s  min/mile
Comments:

Good run overall. No real issues, the weather was good by this point and starting to get warm.
What would you do differently?:

Not much, maybe start a little harder.
Post race
Warm down:

Some walking then we went for a 45min spin when we got home. Then we cleaned our bikes and got a nice sunburn.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not pushing hard enough on the bike and not using all my aero gear.

Event comments:

Good race, would have preferred bagels and oranges to pizza. Pizza was good, but would have rather had something a little more healthy.
