Pre-race routine:

Got up around 5 and were out the door of the hotel by 5:20. Arrived at the course around 5:30 and had plenty of time to set up transition.
Event warmup:

Jumped in the water and swam around for about a half hour before they kicked us all out of the water. Stretched a little

Comments:

Water was pretty calm and very clear. I stayed pretty close to the bouys, while the rest of my wave seemed to head out to sea. Not sure why cause the line didn't seem to be much better. Maybe it was....I got into a rythm right away and felt really good. One of my best swims. The swim seems to be coming up as my stong leg of the race.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing except swim faster. Felt good.
Transition 1
  • 02m 52s
Comments:

No toooo bad. Should have been faster. Had a bit of trouble getting out of the wetsuit. Lot of freshly mown grass around so it was sticking to everything.

Comments:

Had to use laces in my shoes as my dog ate the Yankz out of them this past week. Tying the laces took additional time. Should be under 2 minutes.

  • 6.34 miles
  • 09m 08s  min/mile
Comments:

I was ok for the first couple miles but the wheels fell off after mile 3. I just don't have the miles logged in on my training. I just need more training on the run.
Post race
Warm down:

Sat on a bench and ate potato chips. YUM.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of run training miles.

Event comments:

I wish they would have had an additional water stop at the turnaround on the run. There was one aid station without gatorade too, when I really needed it. Other than that it was a great race and very well run.
