Pre-race routine:

Short bike ride.

Comments:

A few areas I got fairly off course, seemed a long distance between 2 bouy and 3rd.
What would you do differently?:

More drafting if possible
Transition 1

Bike
  • 1h 17m 22s
  • 24.85 miles
  • 19.27 mile/hr
Comments:

Tried to go out slow and easier but wasn't most successful at maintain a steady speed.
What would you do differently?:

I was one of the slower bikers in my age group and overall, just need to continue working on bike speed over longer distances.
Transition 2
  • 01m
Run
  • 51m 31s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 08m 18s  min/mile
Comments:

4 miles in burning on ball of left foot, nice blister :(. Last mile was really tough mentally, wanted to just walk but wouldn't let myself.
What would you do differently?:

Socks were still wet and think contributed to blister. Overall, likely went out too fast even though tried not too.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched and walked. Dunk in lake.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

First oly. Tougher than I thought it would be. Hard to believe how fast most of the other competitors are. Required much more mental toughness on the run than I had any idea it would. I for some reason was unable to slow my pace to try to drop HR from 170. Maxed out at 175 at finish.

Event comments:

Average HR 160, max 175
