Event warmup:

Got up around 4:30 after the worst nights sleep since bring the kids home from the hospital at birth....don't get nervous typically but some kinda funkyness going on last night

Rode the bike to transition from our campsite - little under 2 miles..

Got ready, chipped etc - hung out for the next hour

Comments:

good swim for where i'm at with my swimming today but plenty of room for improvement
What would you do differently?:

swim more freestyle in the pool
Transition 1
  • 05m 8s
Comments:

ended up running straight to bathroom - lake was way to nasty to pee in

Took way to much time triple checking i had everything - my layout and plan was good - just to much time screwing around - i think i could get this to sub 3 mins
What would you do differently?:

not pee - only double check everything

Run
  • 39m 53s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 12m 49s  min/mile
Comments:

hill kicked my ass right away - walked most of it with attempts to run it...

jogged the trails best i could, ran down the hill..


What would you do differently?:

train on trails and big hills more often - lack of comfort hurt me....pace seems fast for what i was doing - i guess running down the hill bought some time
Post race
Warm down:

walked - grabbed some food - all the good food was long gone and the trays left were only for the half folks =(

What limited your ability to perform faster:

overall conditioning

Event comments:

My goal was to finish - which i did....COOL!!

HOWEVER.....as my first TRI ever and giving my physical condition 4 months ago this ws as good as i could hope for but my crappy performance still pi$$es me off - now i motivated even more to get my $hit together and get more time in the saddle, water & trails - 3 weeks till my next sprint - here i come!

Course: out to buoy and back - water felt surprisingly warm for 72 - only 4 or 5 feet for the whole run - tried some freestyle but ended up swimming away from shore so mixed in some breaststroke to sight - ended up being passed by many folks running the swim - looking at my time i should probably have done the same.....

Course: go right from transition into the high cliff hill - managed to get up it and stay in the saddle... started out slow and was getting passed by everyone, about mile 6 my legs finally kicked in and i was hitting 26mph on the straight aways - actually started to do some passing but the tiny headwind and my poor conditioning kicked my butt for the last part of the ride....
