Pre-race routine:

Drove down to PTC, Checked in, Set up T, talked to a bunch of people. Drank 1 boost and some water.

Tested the legs, they were sore. Didn't get in the water, but did get the heart rate up a bit before the swim start.

Comments:

ok swim. Was pretty close to accurate with the 586 yards. That is what 1/3 of a mile works to. My swim took a holiday this year, so, pretty much what I expected. Lots of weeds.. long stringy grassy type. Got in your face, your goggles, wrapped around your shoulders etc. My navigation was a little off. Found myself to the outside a couple of times. Definitely not in the high traffic zones which was where I should have been
What would you do differently?:

Swim more. I probably say swim more in this part of the race report, in every race report. Really, it's the only answer.

T1.. good position for swim exit, a little far for bike out and in. Good for run out.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. This was fine.

Comments:

Going into this race, my leg muscles were extremely sore. I expected to take a hit on the run, but not on the bike like I did. Had little power to give. Still managed a decent split, but was not what it could have been. This hurt more than expected.
What would you do differently?:

Stay away from squats and lunges 3 days before a race.
Transition 2
  • 01m
Comments:

Went no socks, but after I almost put a sock on.. said forget it and moved on. Good decision.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Run
  • 22m 9s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 07s  min/mile
Comments:

Again, legs were too trashed to do what I wanted to do. Had no push off which decreased my stride, so I compensated by increasing turnover. Love this running course. I was passed once. Not happy with Age Group place, but I understand why I ended up there.. so not unhappy with my performance.. just the reasons behind it.
What would you do differently?:

Same as bike..
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around. Talked. Had fun.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Have been seeing a Doctor for a Hip Injury. He trashed my legs during 4 sets of one legged squats and lunges. Hip was not a limiter, but the leg muscles were absolutely a factor.

(Pretty sure I have never logged anything here other than 'Nothing' before. I could check, but not going to.) Heh. :)

Event comments:

Excellent race. One of the best sprints in Georgia.
