Pre-race routine:

Set up my items and then biked around for a bit. Did about 20 minutes of warm-up on the bike. Could barely eat or drink anything, but did manage to down a breakfast bar.
Event warmup:

20 minute bike around City Island and down Front Street. Nice and easy.
Swim

  • 1056 yards

Comments:

The swim was fine. But kept drifting right with the current. Spent some time correcting to keep to the left.
What would you do differently?:

Work on breathing left to keep with the bank and to prevent drifting to the middle.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

The rocks on the take out were bad. Almost slipped a few times. This messed up my concentration and bothered me.
What would you do differently?:

Purchase swim socks for getting out without getting hurt. Need to think about wearing wet suits... is it always to my advantage? Need to walk the distance to memorize course points for spotting.

Comments:

Need to have added more nutrition. Worked so hard at the pace that I barely left anything for the run.
What would you do differently?:

Use gel packs for more nutrition. Finish my liquids.
Transition 2

Comments:

No problems or issues that I remember.
What would you do differently?:

Get better socks.

Comments:

Absolutely no energy left for the run. Felt drained and couldn't get enough liquids in me. Wanted to walk quite a few times but didn't.
What would you do differently?:

Add gel packs and finish liquids from the bike.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Enough endurance and nutrition

Event comments:

The swim take out seemed dangerous to me. I would have added an outdoor carpet on the take out because of the rocks and boulders. I slipped a few times on them.
