Pre-race routine:

Ate a cliff bar and mango smoothie w my coffee at 5:30am, packed and left for Vass at 6:50am.
Event warmup:

Shoulda, but didn't

Comments:

Water was pretty murky, but I got off to a pretty good start. No complaints, except for the person in front of me I couldn't pass bc they couldn't swim in a straight line...
What would you do differently?:

I would try my other goggles. I wore my reflective ones, and it was so cloudy/rainy that they were almost hampering me. Also, I should have warmed up.
Transition 1
  • 00m
What would you do differently?:

Bring a bigger bucket to sit on.

Comments:

It sucked. The rain was almost sideways at times, and I think I was more wet at the end of the bike than at the end of the run. I did pretty good with the hills, so I wasn't too unhappy. My knee gave me trouble during the run, though, and that is probably due to poor bike fit since it was borrowed.
What would you do differently?:

Bike shoes, leaving my running shoes covered and remotely dry at T2. Professional bike fitting.
Transition 2
  • 00m
What would you do differently?:

See above shoe comment.
Run
  • 00m
  • 3 miles
  •  min/mile
Comments:

The run wasn't too bad, aside from the hole feet-are-blocks-of-wood problem most people deal with after the bike leg. My toes were numb throughout though, and I wrenched my knee - probably more due to borrowed bike syndrome than anything else.
What would you do differently?:

Refer back to shoe comment above.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Borrowed bike and rain

Event comments:

No timing chips probably keeps the entry fee down, but I wish I'd worn a watch to know my splits in transition and the bike. A fun event for my first tri - I will definitely repeat next year!
