Pre-race routine:

Up at 4:30. Smoothie, load bike, get the rest of my junk together.
Event warmup:

Stretching. Light swim.
Swim
  • 24m 56s
  • 820 yards
  • 03m 02s / 100 yards
Comments:

The total time for the swim includes the transition time. I would imagine I had about a 20-22 min swim. Not bad. Certainly better than I thought.
What would you do differently?:

More open water swimming prior to event. The cold water was quite a shock.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

No time, because they combined the T1/Swim times.
Bike
  • 51m 49s
  • 15.2 miles
  • 17.60 mile/hr
Comments:

Good bike. Under 1 hour, just like I wanted
What would you do differently?:

Not much. Maybe more hill training.
Transition 2
  • 02m 38s
Comments:

Good T2. Didn't try the removing the shoes thing.
What would you do differently?:

More practice on removing shoes prior to transition.
Run
  • 33m 27s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 10m 47s  min/mile
Comments:

Different turn around point this year, so I was a little suprised by the extra distance to the turn around point.
What would you do differently?:

More brick training to get used to running off the bike.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk and eat

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Thought I performed well. I was happy with my results. Definitely an improvement from last year.

Event comments:

Not enough aid stations on the run course. Not many events after the race. Good pancake breakfast, however.
