Pre-race routine:

Breakfast: two eggs, toast, coffee
Got to venue about 1:30 before my start and set up transition area

Actually remembered to warm up!! Walked for about 20 min, jogged for about ten, swam for 15.

I screwed up my 910x and it was on swim the whole race, so I have no hr, rpm, etc data.

Felt good and strong. I passed four people and was only passed by one person.

Taped my left pinky and ring fingers to middle to help with the weakness in left hand.
Transition 1
  • 02m 29s
Comments:

Transition was good and fast. I was able to get goggles, swim cap, and tape all off before I got to bike. Shoes on easy and away with bike. Made a disastrous decision to not take 30 seconds to put on my gloves in transition and try to do it on the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Put on the freaking gloves!!!!!

Ummm....started off TERRIBLY,!! Less than a block from transition I tried to put on my gloves, which I didnt do in T1 to save time. Lost control of my bike and ended up ,ounting the curb and flatting both of my tires. Ugh...I only had one spare tube. Thought my race was over, so I walked back to T1, but noticed bike support was still hthere! Ran over and asked if they still had tubes, they did. He changed both of my tubes and away I went! Totally rocked the rest of the ride after that!! I was FAST.

Actual riding time was 37:48 by my watch, which is 18.9mph!!!!!
What would you do differently?:

Try to stay on the road, that would be awesome.
Transition 2
  • 03m 3s

Had a cramp in my right groin when i sat down. It loosened quickly though. Shoes on easily, and changed socks too. Need to put zip laces on shoes. Grabbed a gu on the way out because I didn't eat one on the bike
What would you do differently?:
