Overall Rank = 128/156
Age Group = 30-34
Age Group Rank = 15/16
Pre-race routine:

We got to the base early enough to do everything we needed to, plus some. I only had a small 1/2 bar, and some sports beans. I think I should have had a little bit more nutrition.
Event warmup:

I don't warm-up.
Swim
  • 13m 13s
  • 547 yards
  • 02m 25s / 100 yards
Comments:

I was 13/16. overall was 119/156 for females. Goal was 12:00, but this time includes getting to transition, which I think I was slow leaving the pool too.
What would you do differently?:

Work on my technique, probably not wait at the wall for someone to pass. They could have passed me during the lane.
Transition 1
  • 01m 32s
Comments:

It took me a few to clip in (probably 30 sec), just to get going.
What would you do differently?:

I just take too long in T1. I need to work on it more, maybe some practicing before next tri.
Bike
  • 43m 55s
  • 11.89 miles
  • 16.24 mile/hr
Comments:

Once I was in the clips - I felt great. I enjoyed the bike. I was a little winded in the beginning. Goal was 15mph pace, and I held over 16. So, I was happy with my bike.

14/16 and Overall 122/156 females.
What would you do differently?:

Get in the drops more. I need aero bars just to help out with my back and to get comfortable in the ride.
Transition 2
  • 01m 19s
Comments:

I struggled to get my socks on. Didn't sit down though.
What would you do differently?:

No socks for 5K.
Run
  • 33m 8s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 10m 39s  min/mile
Comments:

I was tired, and I resorted to a run/walk, which I shouldn't of. I need to work on my bricks and just do more running after riding. This was the disappointment of the tri. My training runs were better than this.

15/16 and overall 134/156
What would you do differently?:

Run the entire time, no matter what the pace is.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Myself.

Event comments:

Train more.

Course: Swim was okay. I didn't get my pace, and when I did during some laps, I'd loose it at the wall. I let about 3 people pass at the wall, even stopping for someone to get in front of me. I passed one guy at the wall, which is surprising considering how slow I am. I need to work more on the swim.
