Pre-race routine:

Woke up early showered packed up the stuff ate half a banana and went to start; got last parking space in lot near transition; unloaded stuff and walked to transition; set up transition area looked around; listened to Ipod (Sanstorm and Scorponok attack from Transformers score)

Stretched - usual warmup

Comments:

This was my first time in open ocean since I was 12. Had to dodge waves and got swept under 2 times; I think I was 5th out of water in my age group - so not bad considering
What would you do differently?:

Learn to swim in open ocean; dive under waves and dolphin dive the end; practice open ocean swimming
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

The splits did not break down times for transiton so I am not sure how it was calculated
What would you do differently?:

Need to learn to get into shoes on bike and take wetsuit off faster

Ok so looking at the breakdown I know my transition time was calculated into this because the Garmin said I averaged about 19.9 mph; given the flat course I feel like my bike time was really slow
What would you do differently?:

Get faster on the bike - again another poor bike performance where I was at least 3-4 minutes behind....UGHHHH
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Felt fast off the bike and transitioned quick
What would you do differently?:

Learn to dismount moving bike. With sprained ankle though it wasnt gonna happen this race
Run
  • 22m 44s
  • 3 miles
  • 07m 35s  min/mile
Comments:

Again sprained ankle really limited my ability to hammer this part. Felt ok until the end and couldn't push it last 440 meters. Good support and lots of fluid; good crowd at the end
What would you do differently?:

Not have sprained ankle and push it
Post race
Warm down:

Ended up in medical tent icing my foot for about 15 minutes

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Practice open ocean swimming; not have sprained ankle 1 week before event

Event comments:

Again kudos to KOZ! A well organized race.
