Pre-race routine:

Typical breakfast and coffee

  • 820 yards
  • 01m 55s / 100 yards
Comments:

I decided to start in the middle of the pack this race. Big mistake as I lost ALOT of time avoiding swimmers for the first 200m. Just a guess, but looking at the times I think the swim was long. Or everyone was really slow... Also, a long run back to transition.
What would you do differently?:

Suck it up and start at the front.
Transition 1
  • 00m 48s
Comments:

My first attempt at a flying mount, and it saved me at least 30s in transition. Also made for a smoother start on bike.
What would you do differently?:

nothing
Bike
  • 37m 1s
  • 12.4 miles
  • 20.10 mile/hr
Comments:

Got a new tri-bike to ride. Also concentrated on pacing myself, as I have a tendency to go too hard on the bike, leaving me dead for the run. Not so this time.
What would you do differently?:

More training on bike
Transition 2
  • 00m 38s
Comments:

Great transition. The flying dismount saved me around 30s in transition. The only issue was that one of my shoes unclipped when i dismounted and I had to pick it up. The happened while training, too. Perhaps adjustable pedals are in order
What would you do differently?:

New pedals that will keep my shoes clipped
Run
  • 26m 35s
  • 3.25 miles
  • 08m 11s  min/mile
Comments:

good solid run. I cant complain about anything. A flat road would be nice, though.
What would you do differently?:

nothing
Post race
Warm down:

Just walk around and drink some water

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Probably lost a minute on the swim trying to weave through other swimmers

Event comments:

Considering the recent floods and crazy weather, this went extremely well with a lot of participants. Nice course. Everything was very organized and the long sleeve tech-tee is nice, too. Will do this race next year.
