Pre-race routine:

Swam from boat launch to swim start

Comments:

Something seriously wrong with my swim. Did an OWS at the same lake couple of weeks ago, everything was fine. Swam the Thurs before the race and I was getting passed by everyone out there, same thing happened with the race.
What would you do differently?:

Stop neglecting my swim training I guess. Maybe my forearm issue is causing be problems, but I don't feel it when I swim.
Transition 1
  • 02m 24s
Comments:

T1 was ok, nothing special
What would you do differently?:

Could have run a bit harder up from the water. Need to practice mounting with shoes attached to the bike for future races.
Bike

  • 20.57 mile/hr
Comments:

Pretty happy with the bike leg. Goal was to average over 20mph, managed 20.6, so can't complain about that.
What would you do differently?:

Not much, left my bike racked in too high of a gear, not a big deal, but need to remember that next time.
Transition 2
  • 02m 12s
Comments:

Not the best T2. Fumbled around getting the bike racked a bit. Somehow grabbed the race belt of the guy next to me, almost didn't notice, but slowed me down once I did. Got shoes switched out good.
What would you do differently?:

Pay more attention
Run
  • 36m 50s
  • 4.5 miles
  • 08m 11s  min/mile
Comments:

Pretty happy with the run too. Hard to believe I'd rank better on my run than my swim.
What would you do differently?:

Not much, keep on training, start looking to pace at < 8:00 minutes a mile.
Post race
Warm down:

Water, accellerade, beer.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Crappy swim and overall fitness, pretty satisfied with my improvement in just a year though.

Event comments:

Really well run. Didn't stay for the pancake breakfast, but think that is a nice touch. Maybe one more water station on the run, but then I chug more water than most.
