Pre-race routine:

Woke up and had a bowl of cereal. Followed Jeff to the race. My wife and mom tagged along.
Event warmup:

None. Except stretching out. They were anal about swimming after the race started...I couldn't warm up then...it would have been 40+ minutes until I went.
Swim
  • 10m 27s
  • 500 yards
  • 02m 05s / 100 yards
Comments:

I don't like that the swim has such a long run before the timing chip is clocked. I know I don't swim 2min 100's no matter how bad a chop, current or distance! I don't like this portion of this event
What would you do differently?:

Warm up before hand...
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

Transitions were built into times. I don't like this at all. I was a little winded after running up the sand and into the T1. I also had to slow down behind two different guys because we had to be "single file"
Bike
  • 1h 02m 50s
  • 18.64 miles
  • 17.80 mile/hr
Comments:

This bike was fine, just wish they wouldn't tell you that it is flat and fast when it isn't. Also, my time includes transition time. So I probably avg around 19-20mph.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Again, built into the bike.
Run
  • 29m 33s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 09m 30s  min/mile
Comments:

I had a tight and painful left quad muscle. It bothered the heck out of me. I had to walk for 45 seconds as I massaged it. The bike really took a lot out of my legs and it wasn't that long of a bike!
What would you do differently?:

Stretch out more during the warm up process. Keep my quads loose.
Post race
Warm down:

walked around and drank some fluids.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not sure.

Event comments:

I won't be doing this race again. Even though it is cheap, I still would like to have accurate timing and transition timing. that is all.
