Pre-race routine:

No routine yet. We showed up, racked our bikes, and got back in the car becuase it was cold and rainy and tried to keep AJ occupied.
Event warmup:

Jogged about 10 min.

Comments:

It was the first leg so I just ran controlled. I felt really good.
What would you do differently?:

I might have picked it up a little more toward the end.
Transition 1
  • 01m 40s
Comments:

Just took my time. I haven't done this in a while.
What would you do differently?:

Practice and maybe put the shoes in the pedals ahead of time.

  • 10.7 miles

What would you do differently?:

I defeinitely would have been in the small ring before attempting to go up the big hill the first time. I had to dismount and it really cost me a lot of time.
Transition 2

Comments:

I had trouble getting the CamelBak off.
What would you do differently?:

Practice. Pull feet out of shoes and run in socks.
Run

  • 2.08 miles
  • 07m 01s  min/mile
Comments:

I had a lot of water sloshing in my stomach from the bike so starting out was very uncomfortable. My legs were a little tight, but nothing major.
What would you do differently?:

I would have started picking up the pace sooner, I had a lot left.
Post race
Warm down:

None, it was cold and rainy.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of practice, lack of bike time/fitness.

Event comments:

Weather hampered the event, but it was well run and I am lookingforward to it for next year. It was a great first event to do after returning from Iraq.

I just found out that I won my age group. I cannot complain about that.
