Pre-race routine:

MY FIRST OLYMPIC TRI!

4,500 ft elevation
Event warmup:

Parking was tough - had to walk about a mile to the lake! Left me short on time and unable to really get warmed up and stretched out.
Swim
  • 27m 55s
  • 1640 yards
  • 01m 42s / 100 yards
Comments:

Concentrated on pacing myself early, as I tend to tire going out too fast! Overall, happy with my swim... started in firt wave which thinned out quickly - seemed like I was swimming by myself the whole leg.
What would you do differently?:

more training... only swam 1500m in open water twice prior to race!
Transition 1
  • 02m 26s
Comments:

Rocked T1... got out of wetsuit quickly - hands were a little shaky putting socks on but was OK. Long run out to the bike mount - shoes clipped into pedals
What would you do differently?:

?? Felt great - one of fastest times overall
Bike
  • 1h 09m 12s
  • 24.85 miles
  • 21.55 mile/hr
Comments:

CRASHED bike at mile 10 while attempting to add water to aero bottle that was empty.... thankfully my bike and body were OK - nasty deep scratches on shoulder, road rash on right side.

I lost ~4-5 minutes. Without crash, averaged 23.5 mph and would have been top 30 overall going into run
What would you do differently?:

NO CRASHING ON BIKE...
Transition 2
  • 01m 22s
Comments:

Again, one of fastest T2's overall.... improved from 98th overalll after bike to 64th after T2
Run
  • 57m 16s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 09m 13s  min/mile
Comments:

Crash and lack of 10K trainining really caught up.... 8:53 miles 1-3, then hit the wall. Legs were bruised and burning and lungs shot. 4,500 ft elevation may have played a role as well?!

Tough, tough, run
What would you do differently?:

Training - bulk of training was in 3-4 mile range, only ran 5 miles once and never did 6... DOH.
Post race
Warm down:

Medical attention for scrapes...

Event comments:

Outside of bike crash - great race... well organized, lots of people cheering on in the village. First Olympic was a good one
