Didn't freak out which was good. Tried to maintain a easy pace and focues on my technique for effiency.

Pushed a little harder

Need work on the transition...
What would you do differently?:

Have HR monitor watch on during the swim. Put shirt on prior to getting on the bike so I don't have to stop 200 yards into the bike.

Comments:

Could have pushed harder but wanted to make sure I didn't bonk on the run.
What would you do differently?:

go faster
Transition 2
  • 01m 5s
Comments:

Not having bike shoes and pedals makes things easier. Frankly, I thought I was forgetting something when I started the run b/c it was simply rack the bike, finish my drink, helmet off, and I was on my way.
I did forget my sunglasses though.
What would you do differently?:

Remember the sunglasses...
Run

  • 3.1 miles
  • 08m 52s  min/mile
Comments:

Had a great run and I'll have to check some of previous races but I think this is a PR for my 5K distance. I'm still shocked at how well this run went. I'm a 10 minute miler for the most part so anything under 9 minute mile is flying.
What would you do differently?:

nothing
Post race
Warm down:

walk around and watch the other finishers. did some stretching. ate some tomatoe pie and water ice.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

trepidation...

Event comments:

I've only ever had one other race so there isn't much to compare this one to, but I think they did a great job.
Everyhthing was great...can't wait until next years.
