Pre-race routine:

Ate a normal breakfast as I wasn't starting until 9:48
Event warmup:

Did more stretching this race than hurley, jogged a mile or so. Couldn't warm up in the pool as race had already started.

  • 02m 08s / 100 yards
Comments:

Decent pool swim, person scheduled to start in front of me didn't show so I had a gap, swam faster than the person behind me. Didn't really like having to be there at 7:30 and not starting until 9:48. Based on looking at others some athletes either greatly exaggerated their swim time or were having a bad day. There were people stopping on each lap an hour before I started.

Over the past 2 months swim time for this distance improved 45 seconds and that showed on race day. Training does pay off.
What would you do differently?:

nothing really.
Transition 1
  • 01m 51s
Comments:

Legs were weak until I could get the blood flow back in there. Gonna take a bucket next race to sit on. Everything else was decent. Took too much time getting into shoes on bike.
Bike
  • 40m 14s
  • 12.43 miles
  • 18.54 mile/hr
Comments:

bike was ok, took too much time getting into rhythm. Didn't get passed on the bike so that was a plus.
What would you do differently?:

Train more longer distance rides.
Transition 2
  • 02m 1s
Comments:

Decent transition. Need to get a tri shirt so I do not have to change from bike shirt to run shirt.
Run
  • 25m 6s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 04s  min/mile
Comments:

run was ok, saved too much for the uphill on the way back. Should have pushed more.
