Pre-race routine:

Was pretty nervous- didn't get much sleep.
Event warmup:

Jogged around a swam a little, but didn't have a whole lot of time to warmup and stretch.
Swim
  • 11m
  • 400 meters
  • 02m 45s / 100 meters
Comments:

Not sure on the time- in the rush I forgot to start my watch. It was really busy- spent almost the whole time focusing on not running into people, and trying to get away from the people running into me. Had to manuver around a few people that were floudering around.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe try to get more on the outside?
Transition 1
  • 03m
Comments:

Have no idea how long this was either...but it seemed to go pretty smoothly. Not as much sand to contend with as in training.

Comments:

Yay for only one hill! Had a hard time getting up my speed for the first half. Probably could have pushed harder, but wanted to save some energy for the run. Got up a little speed on the last leg- that was more fun. The whole thing went by pretty fast.
What would you do differently?:

Try to go faster! :-D And train more (maybe make it to a spinning class).
Transition 2
  • 02m
Comments:

Don't really know the time on this either. Had a big swig of water.
Run
  • 44m 45s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 14m 26s  min/mile
Comments:

Went well! I think I walked a little less than normal- my pace was a little faster than in training. I stopped to stretch my calves near the beginning. It got a little warm at the end, but I was able to run the last leg.
What would you do differently?:

I wouldn't have minded another water station near the end.
Post race
Warm down:

Streched a little while listening to raffle...didn't win anything :(. But didn't feel as tired as I expected to...which maybe means I could have pushed a little harder. Ah, well- I'm just glad I made it through!

Event comments:

Kind of hard to rate the race, since it was my first. Overall I was disappointed with the swim, but beside that it was great!
