Pre-race routine:

Kind of a rush to get things done. I did not have my normal pre-race breakfast and I panicked because of it. I ended up eating a couple of granola bars from a gas station, a bottle of water and some gel.
Event warmup:

Stretched... I was too busy socializing to get in a good warm up.
Swim
  • 08m 34s
  • 500 yards
  • 01m 43s / 100 yards
Comments:

Kind of a slow swim for me... Did not have a watch so I was unsure of how I was pacing myself. I slowed down at the turn around. Came into the finishing chute and there were a lot of people just waiting to be plucked out of the water. I ended up just pushing through.
What would you do differently?:

Pushed a little harder on the swim. Maybe wore a watch that worked.
Transition 1
  • 01m 14s
Comments:

Slow T1, my aero helmet took a little longer to get on than I expected. Grabbed a gel and stuck it in my pants.
What would you do differently?:

Practice more with the aero helmet and shoes in the pedals.
Bike

  • 12 miles
  • 20.86 mile/hr
Comments:

The bike felt great. Peyton was doing great. I can’t complain! I wish I were a tad bit faster but what can you do?
What would you do differently?:

I would have tried to push a little bit harder.
Transition 2
  • 01m 22s
Comments:

The tongue of my shoes went down in the shoe, I had to fix that. I then decided to take a gel which I am not sure how this happened but blew up in my face and I had little bits of it all through out the run. I high tailed it out after wasting too much time.
What would you do differently?:

Taken the gel on the bike.
Run
  • 21m 36s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 06m 58s  min/mile
Comments:

Good run, I had that "slushy feeling" in my stomach like I had too much to drink. I slowed down at the water stations to take on more water for some reason. I hammered it home. I was really excited about my run, until I just figured out that it was the 38th fastest... Oh well beats last year!

I also had some issues breathing. I am not sure if it was allergies or a cold but I felt like I could not get enough air.
What would you do differently?:

Tried to give at least 15% more.
Post race
Warm down:

Ran to my car and slowed my HR down then went to call friends that I was done.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Allergies?

Event comments:

I love this Race. Bill does a great job running it and I will be back again, next year!
