Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 4:45am to the sound of thunder and immediately went to look at the radar. No worries, it'll all be gone by 7am, I thought. Drank 2 cups of coffee and ate a Nature Valley Peanut Bar. Left for the race site at 5:30.
Event warmup:

The lightening continued until 6:45am so warmup was limited to a short .5 mile run and 100 meter swim.

Comments:

I was paired with a 14 year old girl that was staying right with me. She was on the inside but got blocked by one of the racers that started :10 ahead of us. I pushed the last 15 meters to the wall to get in front of them. I passed the other person that started :10 ahead. (I was 2nd group after a 1 minute break). I ended up passing 3 more people and was passed by 1.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. This was a good swim for me and I pushed it pretty hard.
Transition 1
  • 01m 11s
Comments:

Everything was really wet from the rain. My socks were a little difficult to slide on.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. Go a little faster.
Bike
  • 43m 49s
  • 15 miles
  • 20.54 mile/hr
Comments:

Rain drops were hitting my eyeballs in the first few miles. The first downhill was a little reserved with the wet conditions. I am pretty pleased with my bike split. The only way I'm going to get faster here is with more time in the saddle.
What would you do differently?:

More interval and hill training. Race day went well.
Transition 2
  • 00m 51s
Comments:

My running shoes were weighted down with water.
Run
  • 22m 24s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 14s  min/mile
Comments:

My shoes weighed me down a bit. It was a bit harder to transition to the run with the extra weight but the run went pretty well for me. I might have been able to push a little harder on the first lap.
Post race
Warm down:

Drink water. Hug my family!

Event comments:

This is an annual favorite! This is home for me and my family is always there to cheer me on!
