Pre-race routine:

Breakfast: 3 pancakes w/syrup + 5 eggs (2 yolks and 3 whites) and a cup of coffee at 6:45AM. Arrived at 7:15AM (1hr 45min early) to set up transition and check tire pressure. Consumed 16oz of CYTOMAX and half CLIFF bar 45min (8:15AM) prior to race start.

Biked 1 mile checking gears and practicing sockless entry on and off the bike. Ran 1/2 mile and stretched 15min

Comments:

Real strong on the bike. Kept passing people who were far ahead of me due to the first run. Felt real good in the areo postion and kept cadence high throughout the race.
What would you do differently?:

Not much on the bike. I did loose time after I passed the transition line to mount my bike on the running bare foot start. I need to work on the jump start and shoe entry once up to speed. Probably lost about 30 seconds due to the error.
Transition 2
  • 00m 35s
Comments:

14th Fastest Overall. Good transition and fast in and out. Real good running dismount off of bike. Took feet out of shoes about a 1/4 mile from transition.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Comments:

Really slow into the first mile. Legs felt fine but cardio was horrible. I felt a bit sick because I drank some CYTOMAX to late/at the end of the bike leg. Felt much better on the turnaround
What would you do differently?:

Drink less prior to bike-to-run transition.
Post race
Warm down:

Some light walking

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My cardio capacity on the last run segment.

Event comments:

Great fast and fun race. Great race to see how you stack up in the bike and transition efforts.
