 Swim
Comments: Went out pretty hard until around the 1st buoy. Tried to settle in, but it took a long time to get effort level down where I wanted it. Last 1/3 was just right. What would you do differently?: Settle in quicker.  Transition 1
Comments: Includes 250yd run across soft sand from water to transition. Really drove heartrate up. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Bike
Comments: Good bike, not great. It took too long to relax and get HR down after T1. 2nd loop was 24 sec. faster than first. Fun course. 2nd loop was packed as the later waves were on the course by then. Some big disperities in speed. What would you do differently?: Relax Transition 2
Comments: Solid T2. Could have found 5 sec. What would you do differently?: Not much  Run
Comments: Felt awful for 1st mile, then settled in OK. This was a good run for me. I've made a ton of progress in my 1st season...7 months ago I ran a 8:46 pace for a 5K in my 1st race. What would you do differently?: Run harder in 1st mile. I'm going to feel crappy no matter what, so I might as well run at my proper speed. Post race
Warm down: Met family right away and took a couple pictures. They left and I cheered on a couple of freinds. Went back to transition spot only to find my front tire was flat. Fixed that (the tube was split right at the base of the valve). Packed up and rode home. How great is it to only race 3 miles from home? What limited your ability to perform faster: Time in the sport. I am happy with my performance for a 1st year athlete. Event comments: Good race, close to home. For the pricey entry I would have expected something in addition to water, oranges and bananas (like a bagel or muffin) at the finishing area food table. I'll definitely do it again.

Woke up at 4:45 a.m. Had granola bar and OJ. Rode bike 3 miles to event site. Got primo transition spot and hung out with a friend and walked all Ins/Outs. Sipped Accelerade lightly until walking to the swim start.
Rode to event site and 300 yds of swim warmup 5 min before my wave.
