Pre-race routine:

I got out a little later than I wanted and was greeted with a pretty long signup line. It went pretty quickly, but I will get there earlier next time. Got my transition set up at the last minute and headed to the water.
Event warmup:

Running around like my hair is on fire trying to get my bike and transition setup.
Swim
  • 17m 59s
  • 750 meters
  • 02m 24s / 100 meters
Comments:

Swim was tough again this year and not wetsuit legal. I never felt bad, except when I ate a wave mid breath, but I need to get faster swimming. My sighting is usually terrible, but I only got off course once.
What would you do differently?:

Swim more.
Transition 1
  • 00m 46s
Comments:

Fastest transition yet for me, also first time jumping on the bike. I had a little trouble getting my feet in the shoes, but everything worked great considering it was my first time.
What would you do differently?:

Unvelcro my shoes before I jump on.

I passed quite a few guys and felt great. This was my first race on a carbon tri bike. Super fun.
Transition 2
  • 00m 45s
Comments:

Could have been a little faster. Also my first time jumping off the bike. I lost a bike shoe coming in somehow.
What would you do differently?:

Get my belt on faster.
Run
  • 23m 48s
  • 5 kms
  • 04m 41s  min/km
Comments:

I usually run much better, but for some reason I just couldn't go. I haven't been able to run as much as I normally do in the 2 weeks leading up to this event, so maybe that had something to do with it. My legs felt heavy and slow.
What would you do differently?:

Run more
Post race
Warm down:

Got a coke and some oranges. Talked to a few people, and met some new guys. Packed up my stuff and headed back home

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training and late arrival

Event comments:

I love this race, I'll be back next year.
