Pre-race routine:

Met training partners for ride to sight. Ate Harvest bar and water with 1/2 cup of coffee.

Event warmup:

Too bloody cold out for much warm up. Set up spot in tranny and waited in line for the swim start.

Swim

05m 37s
300 yards
01m 52s / 100 yards

Comments:

Swim bunched up at the end-probably cost me 25-30 seconds!

What would you do differently?:

Put down a fster anticipated swim time!

Transition 1

02m 5s

Comments:

O.K. transition. Need to polish a few things. Longer than usual due to adding layers due to cold weather.

What would you do differently?:

Straps open on cycling shoes - DUH!

Bike

56m 54s
17.5 miles
18.45 mile/hr

Comments:

Good course, set nice tempo, not as cold on the bike as I thought it might get.

What would you do differently?:

Drink more sooner! Push harder on more consistent basis.

Transition 2

01m 45s

Comments:

Long distance from bike dismount to tranny spot. Porbably ran almost 40 sec or more.

What would you do differently?:

Have race number belt open. Open bottle of Cytomax for nutrition befor e running out.

Run

26m 40s
3.4 miles
07m 50s min/mile

Comments:

good cadence, slight cramp wanting to sneak into left quad.

What would you do differently?:

Drink sooner on the bike. Go Faster!

Post race

Warm down:

Couple of bottles of water and a bad bagel.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nutrition/water timing. Not familiar with the course enough. Didn't feel like the bike was rolling great. May need to work on downhill bike handling.

Event comments:

Was added to the schedule as a practice for transitions for Memphis in May. Turns out that with a little extra effort I would have finished in the top 5 of my age group. Oh well, AG M40-44 6th/30.
