Age Group Rank = 13/25

Event warmup:

Light stretching and hydrating.

Swim

04m 13s
250 yards
01m 41s / 100 yards

Comments:

This was over in a blink. Wish it was a longer swim, and wish I was entered in a faster group.

What would you do differently?:

Change entry time to 3:30, that way I wouldn't have been slowed up so much.

Transition 1

01m 20s

Comments:

Great transition.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Bike

27m 51s
9 miles
19.39 mile/hr

Comments:

This is was the best bike segment I've ever had! Can't believe that in 1 year, I'm moving up so quickly. I was able to really push for this whole portion. Very pleased!

What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Transition 2

03m 10s

Comments:

I felt very stiff coming off the bike, so I walked most of the way to the transition area. I was pretty slow with getting things ready for the run, but not too bad overall.

What would you do differently?:

Run with my bike after dismounting.

Run

29m 16s
3.1 miles
09m 26s min/mile

Comments:

It took me over half the run to find my legs. But when I did, I was able to reel in a few runners that had passed me earlier. Much slower than I had done at Mission Man, but really cranked it out in the bike.

What would you do differently?:

Loosen my legs by riding in a lower gear for the last 1/4 mile of the race, and stretched out my legs.

Post race

Warm down:

Light stretching, drank a Gatorade and ate a banana.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Felt tight and stomach was feeling bad a first part of the run. Probably because of the CytoMax I drank that morning.

Event comments:

My goal going in was to break into the top 100, and I did! #99 of 350!
Once again, I'll be back next year.
