Pre-race routine:

Cereal/milk w/ banana. Lots of water and 1/2 protein bar in the car on the way. Good streatch.

More stretching, quick jog around parking lot, arm/shoulder rotations waiting for start.

Swim

08m 9s
400 yards
02m / 100 yards

Comments:

zig-zagged the course too much, breast stroked last half to stay on course

What would you do differently?:

start w competitive first wave to find someone to draft

Transition 1

05m 22s

Comments:

Waited for buddy, his first race. lost 1-2 minutes.

What would you do differently?:

Suck down a gel running into transition and drink water on the bike. Keep gloves on bike and start riding.

Bike

32m 15s
11 miles
20.47 mile/hr

Comments:

Love the ride, hill killed, did not push hamstrings?

What would you do differently?:

Practice course and get ave to 22mph, learn to shake off drafters.

Transition 2

02m 20s

Comments:

Just wanting to finish, no real push here.

What would you do differently?:

Shave 30secs, just moving faster with change.

Run

26m 10s
3.1 miles
08m 26s min/mile

Comments:

Slow just to finish, started at 9min/mi pace and speed up last mile to end with plenty to spare.

What would you do differently?:

Need to push up hill and learn to come down softer to save knee/ITB. Get pace to 7.5min/mile quickly and push for end.

Post race

Warm down:

none

What limited your ability to perform faster:

... hanging w/ buddy on his first tri. Next time he is on his own! Try to shave 5-7 minutes for next one.

Event comments:

Smaller event just right for beginners. No timing or recorded standings. (Used personal watch w splits for results.) JUST FOR FUN! Good practice to tune for longer events. Will do it again next month. Better than mock at gym as you practice everything in real setting.

FUN, fun, fun.
