Pre-race routine:

Powerbar and Gatorade on the ride down. Set up transition and hung out with the family and Scott and Michelle. Saw a few fellow club members and just tried to relax. Probably should have warmed up a little in the water, but I didn't.
Event warmup:

None really. Should probably do this, but I don't.
Swim

  • 400 meters
  • 02m 15s / 100 meters
Comments:

Started out the first 150-200 doing well. Breathing, good stroke, and then it fell apart. Side stroked and breaststroked my way through. Zero confidence in my OWS right now. Last year I had a good swim at this race, almost a minute faster. Not sure what's going on.
What would you do differently?:

Uh, swim.
Transition 1
  • 01m 6s
Comments:

Decent.
What would you do differently?:

Take cap off sooner. Learn to get on bike with shoes on pedals.
Bike
  • 32m 16s
  • 10 miles
  • 18.60 mile/hr
Comments:

Chain popped off at about 1.5 miles. Took me less than a minute to get it back on and going. Hips were a little sore which was kind of weird but I probably could have ridden harder but I'll take this ride.
What would you do differently?:

Get passed by fewer people.
Transition 2
  • 01m 25s
Comments:

Surprised I didn't have a higher ranking on this transition. Thought it went pretty well.
What would you do differently?:

Jump off bike and maybe put race belt on at T1.
Run
  • 26m 56s
  • 3.2 miles
  • 08m 25s  min/mile
Comments:

Knew that betting Slake was out of reach off the bike, so I didn't push this too much at all. Thought my time was better than 8:25 avg pace, in fact I'm kind of doubting this is correct. Whatever. Saw Slake and Shelly on the run. Scott looked strong.
What would you do differently?:

If it were a closer race with Slake, probably run harder, but took it easy knowing it was out of reach
Post race
Warm down:

Grabbed some water and chased Ronan around.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Mental block with OWS.

Event comments:

Will do this again. Nice little race.
