Pre-race routine:

I set up for the church service and set my transition.
Event warmup:

Didn't really warm up. I was pretty warmed up from just setting up the sound system and tents for the church service. Plus my hear-rate races when I have to speak in front of people.

Comments:

I sucked big time in the swim. I don't know why I went so slow. I was having a really hard time to stop running into people. I never felt like I got to get going.
What would you do differently?:

Not real sure yet. I am going to do some more splash and dash races to see if I can figure out this mass swim thing. So far I suck at it.
Transition 1
  • 02m 10s
Comments:

Well this would have been about 20-30 seconds faster but I was delirous after the swim and I could not find my bike for a little while. I felt like an idiot!
What would you do differently?:

I really need to get some kind of marker or flag to make sure I can find my bike next time.

Comments:

The bike was a lot of fun for me this time. I did so bad in the swim I had a lot of people in front of me to catch and pass.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Transition 2
  • 01m 4s
Comments:

This transition went well.
Run
  • 22m 57s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 24s  min/mile
Comments:

It was tough to get going on the run. I pushed the bike really hard so I didn't have a lot left in the tank. I started feeling better as the race went on.
What would you do differently?:

Not trip on the rug at the finish. So embarrasing. LOL

What limited your ability to perform faster:
