Pre-race routine:

Got there nice and early, set up for my transitions and wandered around watching the kids compete.
Event warmup:

Nice, long stretching and a light 10 min jog tyo get the blood flowing.

Comments:

Seeded myself wrong, the slower swimers held me up a lot and I had a very hard time getting by the large pack in the water.
What would you do differently?:

Seed myself a bit higher
Transition 1

Comments:

Did not need the running shoes.
What would you do differently?:

Was my first ever T1, learned a lot!

Comments:

Kind of fell apart n this, I did not train in water to bike so I was pretty shaky in the muscles driving out of the gate. I used up too much in the first 1/2 and then had nothing left to finish with. I was not ued to the flats and figured I would excel due to the hard training I've done on the hills in Burnaby. Wrong!
What would you do differently?:

Not dump everything all at once right out the gates. Pace myself a bit.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Some idiot parked his bike on top of my transition area. Took some time to get his carp outta my way.
What would you do differently?:

Take his seat post with me on my run and hide it for him!

  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 04s  min/mile
Comments:

Hamstrings were very tight had to take it easy in order to make it throught the whole run.
What would you do differently?:

Drive my car, might prove to be easyier and faster! Or not be such a pansy!
Post race
Warm down:

Donuts and muffins

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Inexperience, my wife not allowing me to buy a new bike yet. With a new high preformance bike, I will no doubt dominate in this sport!

Event comments:

Loved this race, it will always hold something special for me as she was my first!
