Pre-race routine:

The usual - coffee, PB&J and a Banana. Julia was helping at the race so we packed the truck with the kids and arrived at about 6:30.
Event warmup:

Making sure Ocky didn't steal my bike. Short jog w/ Susan to keep warm.

Comments:

Really cold - had a tough time breathing comfortably but managed a steady swim with the group.
Transition 1
  • 02m 11s
Comments:

Very disoriented - Julia has this on film. A little trouble with the wet suit but getting on the jacket over wet arms took a good 30 seconds. My bike was still there thanks to Ocky.
What would you do differently?:

Need to learn the flying mount with the shoes on the bike - especially with these short races.

Comments:

Really good 1st race on the new bike. I thought the course was faster than it was (18 mph) - anyway it felt faster. I stood up an the hills and kept a good aero position throughout.
Transition 2
  • 01m 27s
Comments:

Had trouble getting into my running shoes - Julia filmed this as well.
Run
  • 25m 4s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 04s  min/mile
Comments:

So-so run. I feel I didn't give it 100% until the last mile - maybe it was Julia yelling at me to run faster - with the way the course was laid out, you pass transition 4 times. She said it looked like I was running my 1/2 marathon pace.
Post race
Warm down:

Chasing the kids.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The cold water.

Event comments:

I had a great support group with Julia, Ocky, Ted and the kidss. Glad to see Susan out there with me.
