Pre-race routine:

Got up at 4:00 am, ate a bagel with peanut butter, and drank a cup of coffee. Lots of water.
Event warmup:

Jogged and stretched. Took a dip in the lake and swam about 100 yards.
Swim
  • 16m 27s
  • 750 meters
  • 02m 11s / 100 meters
Comments:

Felt comfortable in the water, but only breathed on my left side. I normally breath bilaterally in the pool. The wet suit certainly helped with buoyancy.
What would you do differently?:

More open water, distance swims are needed.
Transition 1
  • 04m 5s
Comments:

Struggled to get my wet suit off my arms and shoulders.
What would you do differently?:

Practice removing my wet suit.
Bike
  • 47m 54s
  • 20 kms
  • 25.05 km/hr
Comments:

Out and back turnaround ride. Good terrain, but the last set of hills killed my legs for the run.
What would you do differently?:

Practice more hilly rides.
Transition 2
  • 02m 24s
Comments:

Good transition. No problems.
Run
  • 30m 56s
  • 5 kms
  • 06m 11s  min/km
Comments:

The rolling hills killed my legs. Had to stop a couple of times and walk, which is unusual.
What would you do differently?:

Practice more bike/run bricks with more hills. Also, need to do some speed work to build strength.
Post race
Warm down:

Took off wet shirt and put on the dry race shirt and a jacket to stay warm. Walked around and stretched.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of bike/run bricks to prepare my legs for the run. I had absolutely no leg strength. Also, I may have needed fueling, but not really sure. Probably will start training with fuels, too.

Event comments:

Y'all come. It's a great event!
