Pre-race routine:

Spent the night Oliver. Went for first OWS in 10 months on Saturday afternoon. Relieved a lot of anxiety. Slept ok. Couldn't eat much in am (yogurt, banana, oatmeal). Up at 6:00, packed up and left around 7. Set up T1/2.
Event warmup:

Swam 200m or so.
Swim
  • 16m 26s
  • 750 meters
  • 02m 11s / 100 meters
Comments:

I seeded myself in the middle but had to negotiate people doing the breast stroke.
What would you do differently?:

In this type of race, next time I will stay in the front 1/3. Probably could have swum harder.

Nothing

Comments:

Felt good on the bike. Played leapfrog with a group of men most of the time. Passed about 7 people out right. Strong on the climbs.
What would you do differently?:

Not too much. Don't hesitate to pass the men.
Transition 2
  • 00m 55s
Comments:

Another quick transition. I was happy.
Run
  • 32m 9s
  • 5 kms
  • 06m 26s  min/km
Comments:

Ugly. Legs tired, heavy. After 1km, had increasing pain in left ankle. New pain. Tried to stretch it a bit but it got worse. Around half way mark,loosened the timing chip, way too tight. Felt a bit better but run was shot by then. Tried to go harder on last half...
What would you do differently?:

Keep working on the running. Maybe stretch a little in T2? Wear the timing band looser. I had abrasions as well as the ankle pain.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, dramk a bottle of water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Poor running.

Event comments:

Great race, great volunteers, good prizes (I won a wine glass), and great BBQ for athletes (and families by donation). I would do it again!
