Pre-race routine:

This race was over an hour away, so I got up at 5:15 made some coffee and hit the road. I was the first person to show up, registered and set up my transition.
Event warmup:

Stretching and a little light running.
Swim
  • 11m 46s
  • 525 yards
  • 02m 14s / 100 yards
Comments:

This was a reverse so the swim was the last leg I knew I couldn't gain enough ground to get to second I just tried not to lose third.
What would you do differently?:

Swim more and harder during training.
Transition 1
  • 00m 35s
Comments:

Pretty good transition couldn't have done much better here.
Bike
  • 36m 54s
  • 13.04 miles
  • 21.38 mile/hr
Comments:

Best bike of the year I was down quite a bit after the run and ended up making back a lot of that time on the bike, I probably could have attacked the hill better but all in all it was a great ride.
What would you do differently?:

Go just a little harder.
Transition 2
  • 00m 41s
Comments:

Reverse so it was off with the bike on with the swim stuff, again this was a good transition.
Run
  • 23m 47s
  • 3.05 miles
  • 07m 40s  min/mile
Comments:

Started right where I wanted to be, I can't complain about this run at all I just wish I was a little faster. I need to work on my run some more so I don't have as much to make up on the bike in these reverse races.
What would you do differently?:

Train more and bring a small bottle to keep cool.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and had a couple of bottles of water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I need to swim better I will work on that a lot this off season as well as my running.

Event comments:

Maybe an aid station at the run turn around.
