Pre-race routine:

Didn't get any warm-up really because we got there late, and then I stood around for 15 minutes waiting b/c of the time trial start.

Event warmup:

n/a

Swim

35m 22s
1640 yards
02m 10s / 100 yards

Comments:

My goggles got messed up twice and I didn't get a warm up. Both of those things probably cost me a few minutes.

What would you do differently?:

Get my own directions, and warm up, and get un-warped goggles.

Transition 1

01m 21s

Comments:

Best trans yet. Still can peel off a few more seconds.

What would you do differently?:

n/a

Bike

1h 13m 16s
26.1 miles

Comments:

Great bike segment. Only area I thought I could improve on was hills. Had a few rough ones. Miles 18-22 I think my speed never dropped below 25mph. No one passed me. Not one person.

What would you do differently?:

n/a

Transition 2

01m 26s

Comments:

Just moved a little slow on this one. I just needed a few seconds to collect myself.

Run

49m 13s
6.21 miles
07m 56s min/mile

Comments:

Good overall run. Again, no one passed me. Heat got to me though.

What would you do differently?:

Tell the race director to plan a different course.

Post race

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not having ever done a race this length before was the only performance limiter.

Event comments:

Best race packet ever, plenty of food, lots of volunteers.
