Pre-race routine:

Woke up about 5:30am. Had oatmeal for breakfast. Wife and I arrived at the site about 6:45am.
Event warmup:

Just stretched.
Run
  • 27m 46s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 56s  min/mile
Comments:

I definitely wanted to hold something back so that I did not bonk on the run. That is what happened the last time I did a run and then a bike. The run was pretty flat and fast.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe next time push a little harder.
Transition 1
  • 01m 16s
Comments:

I put my sunglasses on after the run and they immediately fogged up on the bike. So I had to take them off and shove them in my bike pant leg. This slowed me down in getting up to speed.
What would you do differently?:

Not wear sunglasses
Bike
  • 44m 14s

  • 17.63 mile/hr
Comments:

Overall I was pleased but had a few difficulties with shifting gears.
Transition 2
  • 01m 21s
Comments:

I think I was a little slow to begin with. When I got into transition, I was the only one there and I was a little disoriented. I had to yell out to someone to tell me where we exit for the run.
What would you do differently?:

Make sure I know the exits backward and forward.
Run
  • 13m 52s
  • 1.55 miles
  • 08m 57s  min/mile
Comments:

Good run.
Post race
Warm down:

Rested in the stands and cheered my wife on. Ate a piece of pizza.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Just need to train more and get better on the run.

Event comments:

I would definitely do this race again. It was well organized.
