Pre-race routine:

This was not a race against my other competitors, the clock, or myself. It was a race against Hannah, the tropical storm coming up the coast.
Based on the weather reports, i did not think there was any chance we were having this race all week, but sure enough, we got it in. And we finished just in time.
Event warmup:

looked at the sky and wondered if we were really gonna do this.

Comments:

I pretty much ignored swim training in July and August and I paid for it. Not only was I slow, but I came out of the water completely spent. To my suprise, when I was running up the chute people were yelling "you're 6th out of the water, you're 6th out of the water!!". For a few seconds I let myself believe they were actually yelling this at me and not the woman next to me who started in the wave three minutes behind.
What would you do differently?:

fun, rolling bike course. Took a good while to get the HR down out of transition. Drank about 3 1/2 bottles of water and took 3 gels. good pace.
Transition 2
  • 00m 40s
Comments:

good transition, 11th overall. had a little trouble finding my spot and getting my bike in the box rack.
Run
  • 50m
  • 6.2 miles
  • 08m 04s  min/mile
Comments:

finally put together a decent Olympic run. Very hilly course. The hill out of the park in mile 2 was extremely steep. I decided to walk a bit to settle my heart rate which was jacked. I think this was a good call as i went on to have a great run and finished strong.
Post race
Warm down:

Hannah gave me a shower.
