Pre-race routine:

ROAD TRIP! Pre-race was a day long geekfest with my road trip buddy Dennis. Ironman 3 in IMAX 3D, then free comic book day, and some table top gaming later. As this is the second year in a row with a similar road trip on May 4, I suppose it's a routine now.
Event warmup:

Wake up and pack.
Swim
  • 34m 36s
  • 1408 yards
  • 02m 28s / 100 yards
Comments:

This swim was tough for me last year. It is an easy open water course, but I freaked out a bit. A year later, with a 5k ows behind me, this was no problem.
What would you do differently?:

Swim harder, sight less, kick more.
Transition 1
  • 04m 21s
Comments:

The only place I can be mid-pack is in transitions. 135 out of 227. Woo hoo.
What would you do differently?:

Not much, except run to transition harder so that my swim time is more accurately reflected.
Bike
  • 3h 04m 19s
  • 40.3 miles
  • 13.12 mile/hr
Comments:

Am I a runner or a triathlete? How can one be the worst at biking?
What would you do differently?:

Training time in the saddle, simple as that.
Transition 2
  • 02m 43s
Comments:

Again, midpack for transition time!
What would you do differently?:

Run the bike to transition.
Run
  • 2h 25m 59s
  • 8.8 miles
  • 16m 35s  min/mile
Comments:

Someone ran slower? Must have been injured.
What would you do differently?:

Be lighter, run faster. Run. D the whole course without a spare sock jammed in my shoe, as opposed to leaving it there for two miles.
Post race
Warm down:

Pack up, thank everyone, pathetically ask if I actually got an AG award since the clydes were so few and I saw one drop out. (Some late registrations came in, so...no.)

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Wind, obesity, poor form, mental blocks, under training. You name it, I've got it.

Good job finishing. The more practice the lower the times will be. On the bright side, at least there were no bugs this year!

Well done.  This early in the season up here does not make for an easy race! Give yourself credit for getting out there and getting this one done. I was out on the bike at that hour and can't imagine getting in the water prior.
