Pre-race routine:

Tried oatmeal and bananas this time - pretty good! It was damn cold this morning, but I decided to go anyway since my garage door was willing to open. Sometimes it sticks in the cold and I was hoping for a sign.
Swim
  • 30m
  • 900 yards
  • 03m 20s / 100 yards
Comments:

I am looking forward to lake swims too, but this was a pretty good pool swim for me.
Transition 1
  • 10m
Comments:

Fixed 10 min transition. Just about enough time to get everything in place and get seated.
Bike
  • 30m
  • 7.6 miles
  • 15.20 mile/hr
Comments:

Fixed 30 minute bike. These bikes are notoriously difficult. Cadence makes less of a difference than resistance, so I pushed the biggest number I could and stay above 80 rpms. Just as hot in the room as last year. Glad I wore my biking shoes.
What would you do differently?:

I haven't been a bike much since the Fall. If I wanted to do better, I would have had to practice.
Transition 2
  • 10m
Comments:

Another fixed 10 minutes. Low pressure here since already dressed, and the tmills were nearby. Just did some stretching and switched shoes.
Run
  • 30m
  • 3.08 miles
  • 09m 44s  min/mile
Comments:

One of the better treadmill runs in a long time. This room was much cooler than it was last year, I felt strong the whole time. Used my iPod which helped the time go by. Was just happy to be done. One short walking break halfway, but I never ran below 6.2 otherwise.
Post race
Warm down:

Slowed the treadmill to a short walk, stretched.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of bike practice. But I definitely did my best today.

Event comments:

Huge improvement in attitude over last year. I finished today thinking I may come back again next year. Last year I was adamant I would not. I've definitely improved in all areas over the year, so it was a good comparison.
