Pre-race routine:

Packed the car the night before except for bike- layed out racing outfit with heart monitor and sneakers ready to go in the morning. Cup of coffee- not very hungry. Ended up having a gel and 1/2 of an energy bar before race.

Little jog out and back- maybe 10 minutes

  • 02m 12s / 100 yards
Comments:

Everything I had been learning and practicing seemed to go right out the window. I never felt like I could catch my breath, I swallowed so much water I burped during the entire bike. My position in the water was terrible- i just couldn't seem to straigten my body out and i would gasp everytime my face was in the water- it was kind of cold.
What would you do differently?:

Everything- most of all I would try to relax and do what i had been taught to do.
Transition 1
  • 02m 7s
Comments:

I had put my goggles under the swim cap in an attempt not to get them knocked off my head during the swim- except I got the stupid things stuck in my hair when I tried to put on my bike helmet. I took my time in transition and tried to relax after that terrible swim.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing- i'm OK with this transition.
