Pre-race routine:

had some banana bread, light stretching, 1/2 a Clif Bar, one Gu, swam about 20 yrds until they kicked me out of the lake (grrr.), tried to invent a "green" low cost energy solution to gasoline.. still working on that.
Event warmup:

not much, by the time they closed the lake all I could do was socialize and hang until the start.
Swim
  • 08m 42s
  • 440 yards
  • 01m 59s / 100 yards
Comments:

For the second year in a row, not sure why I was this slow. The pool does not convert to OWS, I just need to do more OWS, plain and simple. My googles did fog hard and after the turn I injested 1/2 the lake, not good.
What would you do differently?:

More OWS
Transition 1
  • 01m 21s
Comments:

It was just ok, I took too much time with the shoes and socks - other than that it was ok
What would you do differently?:

It was ok, I need to rid myself of socks at some point.

Nada.

Comments:

I kicked it "old school" in the run, I did a really good job here. 4th in my AG out of 53, 21st for the whole race - my running has been great this year. This was a hilly run, so it was challenging from that perspective, not as bad as Pokagon though... If I can just get my swim up there to match...
What would you do differently?:

are you kidding?
Post race
Warm down:

Drinking Gatorade and hanging out with friends, co-workers and folks I met.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swim, I swam like a paper weight coated in lead.

Event comments:

Better than last year, better run course and more drink stations. This is a great local race with lots of competition.
