Pre-race routine:

Woke up at the ungodly hour of 3:45 am to drive down to PTC. I had never actually been there so I had no idea how long the drive would take. I was supposed to go and pick up Courtney before the race until she came up lame and decided to stay home. Needless to say I was really, really early!
Event warmup:

Swam a little in the lake.
Swim
  • 11m 9s
  • 528 yards
  • 02m 05s / 100 yards
Comments:

Swim felt faster. We started in TT format in pairs of two. I was through the six people ahead of me in the first 25 yards. My timing chip almost fell off at the first turn so I swam with it in my right hand for the last part of the swim.
What would you do differently?:

Actually go to the pool and swim. That and tighten my strap.
Transition 1
  • 01m 23s
Comments:

Includes run from lake, still a bit long.
What would you do differently?:

Practice the flying mount so I am comfortable doing it.
Bike
  • 38m 1s
  • 13.2 miles
  • 20.83 mile/hr
Comments:

I had heard that the course was flat so I wasn't prepared for the small rollers at the beginning. Overall a good bike course.
What would you do differently?:

Train.....

  • 00m 50s
Comments:

Good T2
Run
  • 23m 30s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 34s  min/mile
Comments:

This was the worst 5k time I have posted in a couple of years. Very disappointed with this run.
What would you do differently?:

Train, hit the track more.
Post race
Warm down:

Hung around the finish line and cheered on my NAMC people and other athletes that I am friends with.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The fact that my son is 5 weeks old and I haven't trained to amount to anything lately. I suppose that for the effort it was a good race although not something I am particularly pround of.

Event comments:

Love this race, will be back in years to come.
