Pre-race routine:

Got up at 4AM and left with Brian at 4:45. Ate some oatmeal before leaving and drank a Gatorade.

Not much. Swam a little and stretched some.
Swim
  • 17m 19s
  • 880 yards
  • 01m 58s / 100 yards
Comments:

The start was poor for me. I could never get a good line or in a good group. Either I was running into people or getting run into. About half way into the swim I finally got in a good groove and finished fairly strong.
What would you do differently?:

Site better and try to find a good pace earlier.
Transition 1
  • 01m 53s
Comments:

Not too bad. Put helmet on before my shirt, so I had to take it off to get shirt on. Took a little too long, but overall not too bad.
What would you do differently?:

Shirt on first, then helmet...duh
Bike
  • 1h 02m 56s
  • 15.53 miles
  • 14.81 mile/hr
Comments:

My bike computer went out on mile one, so I had no way to check my speed or distance. I really thought I had a good bike going, and I was about a minute faster than last year. I thought I would have had a better average speed, because I really pushed, but my average was not good. I can't complain, though, because I don't think I could have gone much harder on the bike. Just need to get faster and train more.
What would you do differently?:

train more before the race
Transition 2
  • 01m 32s
Comments:

Not much to change here, except just get in and out faster.
Run
  • 37m 29s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 12m 03s  min/mile
Comments:

Pitiful. I walked way too much, and just never got into a rythm until the last mile or so. The run is still killing me and I have to get better.
What would you do differently?:

More bricks in training and get settled into a pace and not stop to walk.
Post race
Event comments:

Good race and challenging course. Volunteers were great and everything is done first class.
