Pre-race routine:

Yummy breakfast of a bagel with pb and a hot cocoa! Got up in time to have breakfast with three hours to wait before race.
Event warmup:

Because it was so cold, I spent quite a bit of time trying to warm up in the water. For next year, I need to spend even more time in the water.
Swim
  • 35m 51s
  • 1640 yards
  • 02m 11s / 100 yards
Comments:

While the swim and my group (Athena's and ladies over 50) were certainly very pleasant, the early season cold water temps were cold on the asthmatic lungs. I had a small breathing issue in the beginning.
What would you do differently?:

I need to jog in the am before the race and REALLY swim more beforehand. About 30 minutes beforehand. Just have to be sure I don't cramp due to the cold. I started to at the end of this year.
Transition 1
  • 05m 15s
Comments:

I think I need alot of work here esp. since there were strippers. I could make up some time here I think. :)
What would you do differently?:

Practice T1 more! :)
Bike
  • 1h 38m 33s
  • 27.34 miles
  • 16.65 mile/hr
What would you do differently?:

I need to get up the hills and then get my breathing in control. I also need to get off the bike with breathing in control for the run.

I think I can push this section more too.
Transition 2
  • 02m 15s
Comments:

Again - while this time was better. I still need to practice these.
What would you do differently?:

Practice! Practice! Practice! :)
Run
  • 1h 00m 52s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 09m 48s  min/mile
Comments:

I have to figure out how to get my heart rate under control for the first part of the run so I don't combust and can keep a nice rhythm.
What would you do differently?:

I would like to shoot for 9 min. miles.

Event comments:

Loved this race! Can't wait to go back next year to see if I improved! :) Would like to shave 15 minutes off my time. :)
