Pre-race routine:

Took the El from downtown to the Montauk stop. Full pack and bike on crowded train=an experience. Many thanks to my fellow racers/train riders who helped me navigate to the race site.
Swim
  • 13m 48s
  • 375 meters
  • 03m 41s / 100 meters
Comments:

Oddest start/course because our timing started at a gate but the measured distance did not start until we got past wading depth. i don't understand the logic on that. I am guessing this swim is really 500m.

Long run to transition of temporary boardwalk. The boardwalk was plastic (you don't need socks).

Water was warm enough not to wear the wetsuit which helped.
What would you do differently?:

Wade faster out to the 1st buoy.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Bike
  • 19m 58s
  • 10 kms
  • 30.05 km/hr
Comments:

Decent course. It got a little hairy in the turnarounds with inexperienced & jerky racers.
What would you do differently?:

N/A unless you want to knock people down, there is a limit on how fast you can navigate this course.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Run
  • 14m 10s
  • 2.5 kms
  • 05m 40s  min/km
Comments:

I had no power in this run.
What would you do differently?:

Very disappointed in this run. I will cut 1+ minutes(s) off this time next year.
Post race
Warm down:

Wait for corral to open. Grub was sparse.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Something but I can't put my finger on it.

Event comments:

Easy race to like. Nothing outstanding but lots of good things. Pretty chill race which is perfect for BTers.
