Pre-race routine:

Took an easy jog less than a mile down to the swim start and back.

Transition 1

What would you do differently?:

Need to get tri shoes instead of road shoes. Would really help if I had a hook on the back to hold on to.

  • 12.5 miles
  • 21.11 mile/hr
Comments:

Flat course, very fast. PR for average mph. Only got passed by one person on whole bike course so I was happy about that.
What would you do differently?:

Easier gear, higher cadence. Need to get a computer so I can watch speed and cadence so I can push harder and pace myself.
Transition 2
  • 01m 5s
Comments:

Lens fell out of sunglasses so I was trying to find it. Should've just left it there.
Run
  • 27m 6s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 08m 44s  min/mile
What would you do differently?:

Push myself harder. I had too much left at the end. I need to come out stronger.
Post race
Warm down:

Drank water and ice pops and banana. Talked with fellow teammates after race.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Didn't push myself hard enough on the fun.

Event comments:

This was the best race I've done yet. Very organized, a ton of helpful volunteers. Very fun!
