Pre-race routine:

Drove from home about 1.5 hours.....left at about 4:45am. Arrived and had trouble finding the registration area. Took my time setting up my transition area and went to inspect the swim starting area.
Event warmup:

Stretched and jogged out of the bike transition to get a feel for the exit area. Went to the swim start for the pre-race meeting.
Swim
  • 08m 30s
  • 400 yards
  • 02m 07s / 100 yards
Comments:

Executed my race plan for the swim. Stayed to the outside and took a wide arc around bouy's. Very little contact (elbows, kicking) from others. Swim was very enjoyable.
What would you do differently?:

Not much at all.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

Transition was OK.
What would you do differently?:

Next time I would lose the shirt as there are numbers on the bike. Spent too much time putting shirt on.
Bike
  • 37m 58s
  • 13.6 miles
  • 21.49 mile/hr
Comments:

Felt very good about the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Will push a little harder next year since I know the route.
Transition 2
  • 00m 53s
Comments:

My transition area was furthest from the bike end. Seemed to go well, but time tells the truth. I am OK with any transition under 1min.
What would you do differently?:

Not sure....maybe I need to practice this transition. I was 7/11 in the age group here.
Run
  • 23m 12s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 29s  min/mile
Comments:

Executed well here. My target was to run 7:30min per mile.
What would you do differently?:

Not much except really push with about 0.5 miles to go. I tried to catch the guy in front of me, but couldnt make up the 5 secs.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked and drank H20.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Bike speed was good for me, but looks like I need to improve in this area to keep up with the field.

Event comments:

Really had a good time at this race. My guess is that this race will grow in popularity. I will register again for this one next year as a "B" race.

First time on the AG podium (3rd place) so I am very pleased with my performance.
