Pre-race routine:

at bowl of oatmeal as usual, coffee, bar at 7:00, gu at 8:10
Event warmup:

a few quick efforts in the lake about 5-7'
Swim
  • 22m 35s
  • 1640 yards
  • 01m 23s / 100 yards
Comments:

i kept a steady, strong effort throughout. being a shorter distance, i never really let and kept moving from group. i was well up into the first wave of swimmers. course was a little tough to navigate since they didn't have consistent corner buoys
Transition 1
  • 02m 16s
Comments:

no major issues here. i had my bike stuff in a bag to keep it relatively dry so this added a little bit of time to my transition. also, there a bit of a jog to the transition area after the swim. overall, though, no major problems
Bike
  • 1h 10m 27s
  • 24.85 miles
  • 21.16 mile/hr
Comments:

with the conditions being wet and potentially cool, i wore a vest on the bike. I may not have needed it, but it made me feel more comfortable
Transition 2
  • 01m 8s
Comments:

again, having my gear in a bag keeping them dry made my transition a little slower.
Run
  • 44m 36s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 07m 11s  min/mile
Comments:

i probably didn't need the vest on the run since it started to get quite humid once it stopped raining, but I didn't want to take the time to remove it so I just unzipped it. i felt really smooth and comfortable on the run. i never felt tired or like i couldn't keep up the pace. i ran at the exact pace i have trained for.
Post race
Warm down:

walking around. a little stretching. i do little massage with the stick tonight
