Pre-race routine:

1 Banana
Event warmup:

None.
Swim
  • 08m 26s
  • 440 yards
  • 01m 55s / 100 yards
Comments:

I definitely had a better/smoother swim this time around. Hardly any bumping or clashes with other guys in my wave. I pushed out a little too wide in the first leg and could have gone on a tighter line to the first turn bouy.
What would you do differently?:

See if I can find an inside line to first bouy.
Transition 1
  • 01m 57s
Comments:

Much better T1 from Race #2. My gear clipped on really well this time and I was out of Transition quicker.
Bike
  • 32m 45s
  • 11 miles
  • 20.15 mile/hr
Comments:

Wow! My HR was really stable throughout the entire course and kept it in the low 150's as desired and only peaked at 155 ("average") during the hilly Mile8 & 9 as expected!
What would you do differently?:

We'll see what another couple of weeks of training result in.
Transition 2
  • 01m 41s
Comments:

Much better effect in T2 this time. I'll see if using a towel to dry off feet will help with socks and shoes next time.
Run
  • 22m 55s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 23s  min/mile
Comments:

Much better pacing this time from the onset. I got down to 7:12min/mile average for Mile3 so I'm almost on target for my 7:00/mile pace. I'm setting my Spark to "Race" mode for Race #4 coming up in Sept.
Post race
Warm down:

Easy to cool down and get my HR normalized this time. I definitely pushed the pace from the onset on the Run but I didn't have after-effects from the effort.

Event comments:

The/my race went off without a hitch once again. It's good to have 3 races under my belt at the same venue to see my improvements. I have gotten better in every metric that matters so I'm happy to see the progress. Looking forward to Race #4 where I want my run to stand out even if my Swim or Bike don't improve or even decline.
