Pre-race routine:

Spent the night before to avoid long drive in the morning. Ate a Powerbar, drank a bottle of water and headed to the race site.
Event warmup:

Set up transition, stretch, head down to swim start about 30 min. to race time to get in a light warmup.
Swim
  • 05m 54s
  • 400 yards
  • 01m 29s / 100 yards
Comments:

Swimming in OW is slowly but surely improving. I have got to work on navigation, everytime I looked up I had drifted off to the left a little. Probably lost about 30-60 seconds re-correcting myself.
What would you do differently?:

Swim straight.
Transition 1
  • 01m 25s
Comments:

I'm guessing since the swim times were right on and the T1 times were all above a minute that the mat was farther back than I thought, because I was lightning fast in the Transition Area.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Bike
  • 34m 56s
  • 13.6 miles
  • 23.36 mile/hr
Comments:

Can't complain with this. I've only been biking for about 4 months so I'm happy to be at this point.
What would you do differently?:

Just keep workin.
Transition 2
  • 00m 34s
Comments:

Pretty quick, fought with my shoes for a brief second.
What would you do differently?:

Ehh.
Run
  • 20m 4s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 06m 28s  min/mile
Comments:

I am happy with this time, it is my best 5k this year! I have to keep working on it though because this is nowhere near the pace I want to be running at.
What would you do differently?:

Keep training.
Post race
Warm down:

Basically walked around like a zombie and got eaten by a million gnats for 2 hours before awards started. Seriously, I have never seen so many gnats....

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Experience, still on rookie season. My main goal coming into this race was just hoping to be under 1 hr and 5 min. I did, therefore I'm satisfied!

Event comments:

Typical Ga Multisports blunders from what I have seen, but I think everybody had a pretty good time! =)
