Overall Rank = 153/435
Age Group = 30-34

Pre-race routine:

Set up, stretching, keep warm. It was raining and breezy outside.

Event warmup:

Not much you could do. Got the wetsuit on and did a short swim and got acclimated to the cold water.

Swim

28m 45s
1640 yards
01m 45s / 100 yards

Comments:

Had left hamstring cramp as I was getting out of the water, probably lost 20 seconds. Had to stand there and stretch in the water.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing, it was just cold.

Transition 1

02m 7s

Comments:

As I did the flying mount, my left calf seized on me. Almost crashed. Had to stretch at the mount line for over 1 minute.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing, attributed to the cold.

Bike

1h 14m 34s
24 miles
19.31 mile/hr

Comments:

I really didn't go race pace until the second loop. Was too concerned about the conditions to go hard. However, I got bored at about mile 12 and went for it. I'm sure I negative split by a couple of minutes.

What would you do differently?:

Try harder from the start.

Transition 2

01m 36s

Comments:

Probably my best transition yet. It if wasn't for the huge and muddy transition area, the time would have been stellar.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Run

51m 39s
6.21 miles
08m 19s min/mile

Comments:

I'm sure I negative split every mile. Felt good, I was running hard. The muddy parts really slowed me down and nearly cause a knee injury. Didn't drink or eat anything for the run because of the conditions, body didn't really need it and I was going strong, didn't want to mess up my breathing.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Post race

Warm down:

Ate pizza.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Cold water, wet, rainy, and windy bike.
