Pre-race routine:

Drew had an accident in bed at 5:00AM so I threw his sheets in wash and had a bagel with Peanut Butter then went back to bed until 5:50. Left cabin at 6:10 and arrived on site around 6:40.
Event warmup:

Walked transition area and swam about 50 yards.
Swim
  • 10m 41s
  • 440 yards
  • 02m 26s / 100 yards
Comments:

Swim felt tough. It was my first wave start and I started out too hard. Waves were about 8 inches but felt like 1.5 feet. We started out swimming into them so the first 1/3 of swim was hard going.
What would you do differently?:

I should have counted to 10 and then started.
Transition 1
  • 02m 22s
Comments:

I felt sluggish.
What would you do differently?:

I didn't have a water pail and I spent extra time wiping sand off feet. I could have gotten out faster.
Bike
  • 36m 36s
  • 10.2 miles
  • 16.72 mile/hr
What would you do differently?:

I should have hit uphills harder.
Transition 2
  • 00m 26s
Comments:

Got off bike and flew out of transition area
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Run
  • 18m 6s
  • 2.5 miles
  • 07m 14s  min/mile
Comments:

Felt pretty good. The run out seemed longer than I was expecting but return trip was fast.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and had a bagel, cream cheese, and gatorade. When on a fast walk Sunday with family

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I did not feel as into the race as my first one becuase of all the distractions in life right now and knowing that I did not have any spectators watching.

Event comments:

It was a decent course with pretty good organization. I would have liked it better if they would have made the course information available before the race so I could have scouted it and practiced on it a few times. Otherwise it was well done.
