Pre-race routine:

Woke up and kind of rushed around to get everything ready. I was pretty tired because I babysat the night before and I got a little under 4 hours sleep (I was told I would be babysitting til 7:30pm at the latest but parents showed up at midnight). I ate PB toast on the drive from Green Bay there.
Event warmup:

None
Swim
  • 11m 4s
  • 481 yards
  • 02m 18s / 100 yards
Comments:

VERY crowded. I couldn't get anything going b/c I was constantly either running into someone or getting ran over. My time is almost 3 minutes slower than my swim time in the 1st triathlon.Very disappointing.
What would you do differently?:

I don't really know. Maybe stay more outside of people.

Comments:

Pretty nice bike. Some small hills which were enough for me b/c this was my secound triathlon. I need to improve on the bike but for now I'm happy with this performance.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Transition 2
  • 01m 14s
Comments:

Riding on the grass into transition was different, as I never rode on the grass before. Good transition.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Run
  • 24m 44s

  • 07m 57s  min/mile

The run is my strongest point. I was very happy with my pace.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Post race
Warm down:

Hydrate, ate a little but the food wasn't that appealing to me.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The crowded swim. Getting less than 4 hours sleep probably wasn't the best. Now I know to either not babysit or give a time that I need to be home for if I'm racing the next day.

Event comments:

Pretty good event. The swim might be an issue to be revised next year.
