Pre-race routine:

Woke up 3am, coffee, bagel and last minute prep. Did the stoooopid subway shuffle taking the F into Brooklyn 1 stop and then catching an A back to Manhattan which took way to long. Still enjoyed the early morning party animals meandering around the city at that hour
Event warmup:

After the brief down pour, dried off my stuff set everything up and headed out for the mile walk to swim start

Comments:

Stronger but still have sighting issues - did figure out a 3/1 technique today so I'm excited to try it for my HIM
What would you do differently?:

OWS before race, but no worries as I was not "racing" per se
Transition 1
  • 09m 30s
Comments:

This run to the Yellow transition is just always so annoying. I wish they would switch the reds and yellows out alternate years. I decided to walk/jog this because I didn't want my PF to act up.

Getting my running back - slowly. No PF issues today, just cardio weakness due to not enough running in my training to date - this will no doubt get better the closer I get to IMFL

na
Post race

Walked around expo w/ LZM got a massage (nice) and then made the long haul back to transition and subway ride home by myself


What limited your ability to perform faster:

Too early in my training season

Event comments:

Love this race despite some mean people (elite/pro wannabes) I encountered out there today. For the most part everyone was in good spirits and supportive. The support crew was the best (thanks Jonah) and the crowds as always were terrific.
