Total Time = 1h 27m 11s
Overall Rank = 594/1190
Age Group = 55-59
Age Group Rank = 12/25

Pre-race routine:

Usual, protein drink followed by sports drink, gel about 20 minutes before start. Set up transition, visit with friends, hit the port-a-can then head to the start.

Event warmup:

Jog in place in transition, didn't get in the water before they started clearing the start.

Swim

14m 55s
550 meters
02m 43s / 100 meters

Comments:

Still need to work on keeping my head down and pulling. Spent last two pool sessions with 500m warm-up, the wall is a crutch.

What would you do differently?:

Freestyle the whole swim!

Transition 1

02m 43s

Comments:

Hit stop on the Garmin at swim in instead of lap button.

What would you do differently?:

Not dry off or drink from bottle.

Bike

40m 30s
13 miles
19.26 mile/hr

Comments:

Was working pretty good pace first 1/3, need to keep the intensity level up. Felt like I finished strong. First time for a flying dismount, not planned, just happened. Glad I didn't fall on my face in front of 100's of people!

What would you do differently?:

Train harder, ride faster. Goal speed was 20+

Transition 2

02m 10s

Comments:

Had problems getting bike on the rack. Took drink from bottle before heading out on run.

What would you do differently?:

Mark end of rack. Drink more on bike.

Run

27m 7s
3.1 miles
08m 45s min/mile

Comments:

Pretty good run, goal was < 9:00/mi. Used Dave Shaw's run tips from the clinic, lean forward and use body weight.

Post race

Warm down:

Ice bag on head, then jumped in the ice bath for about 5 mins. Really helped to lower core temp. Head to Cy-Tri tent for post-race carbs (Shiner Bock) and BS with friends.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Get better on swim and more bike training. Run is improving.

Event comments:

OUM Prod always puts on a good race.
