Pre-race routine:

Got to site early, chatted with friends.

Not much. Did a couple laps in the pool to loosen up.
Swim
  • 03m 56s
  • 250 yards
  • 01m 34s / 100 yards
Comments:

Swim went really well. Didn't push too hard, but swam hard. Got slowed down a bit at the end waiting for the person in front to get out of the pool, but not more than 10-15 seconds.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. Overall, a very good swim for me.
Transition 1
  • 01m
Comments:

Just a guess on time since our T1/bike/T2 split wasn't separated. I knew my bike time from my computer but not my separate T1/T2 times. No problems other than getting clipped in on bike.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. Good T1
Bike
  • 26m 10s
  • 10 miles
  • 22.93 mile/hr
Comments:

Went out a little hard, averaging 23.5 to 24.5. The turns slowed me down because I was maxing out to hold >23 and I had a hard time getting back up to speed. Coming back I stayed >22.8, but with turns and such couldn't quite keep the overall 23 mph average I wanted.
What would you do differently?:

Hold back just a little on the way out
Transition 2
  • 00m 48s
Comments:

Good T2
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Run
  • 14m 19s
  • 2 miles
  • 07m 10s  min/mile
Comments:

Went out way too hard, got horrible side stitches. Had to slow way down to get breathing under control, then I picked back up. Could have picked the pace up earlier.
What would you do differently?:

Take it a little easier out of T2, drink more
Post race
Warm down:

Drink water, eat panckakes, get shower & changed. Then hang out with my kids and friends

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Execution on the run

Event comments:

Well-run, fun race, especially since I finally placed in my AG!
