Pre-race routine:

None, signed up the morning of the race because my wife was doing the half iron there and it seemed like a good way to kill an hour or two.

Nice swim course. The boat ramp for the entrance and exit was extremely slick though

Comments:

I don't put my shoes on while on the bike, I just can't seem to manage that balancing act.

nothing

Comments:

The roads were a little rough and bumpy in some places. There was no support, but we only covered 12 miles, so it wasn't really missed.
What would you do differently?:

It's the same story for the entire season. I need more training on the bike!
Transition 2
  • 01m 21s
Comments:

I cannot handle pulling my feet out of the shoes while the bike is moving, so this will always be a little slow for me
What would you do differently?:

I think I need the quick laces for my tri shoes
Run
  • 23m 46s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 40s  min/mile
Comments:

I wasn't really trying to put on a full effort, just wanted to use this as a training run. The run course was very nice though. Just the one water stop and they weren't really handing out the cups
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched myself out and walked around for awhile. Got some food and drink and then went to change clothes and hang out for the day.
Realized once I checked that I ended up in 4th place in my age group! If I had realized I was so close, maybe I would have pushed harder....

What limited your ability to perform faster:

This was a last second sign-up that I only wanted to use as a last training session before my half iron in Michigan the following week.

Event comments:

Very nice job by the race organizers, especially given that they were managing three tri's at the same time!

The awards were very cool and original.
