Pre-race routine:

Fixed up the bike that morning. It was the relay and Jenn who was riding the bike wanted to switch to some normal peddles and not use the clips. Quick trip to canadian tire!
Event warmup:

Walked around the transition area, short ride and swim.
Swim
  • 15m 15s
  • 750 meters
  • 02m 02s / 100 meters
Comments:

Had a great swim, wasn't impressed with the steep hill we had to run up to get to the transition area. I think that itself added over a minute onto my time!
What would you do differently?:

Get a wetsuit one size up, was a little tight but the only thing they had left at the rental place!
Transition 1
  • 01m 9s
Comments:

It was an easy transition since it was a relay. All we had to do was give the timing chip to the next person.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing

What would you do differently?:

Practice.
Transition 2
  • 00m 52s
Comments:

Again a quick transition since all we had to do was switch the chip to the next person.
Run

Comments:

I think Kristen had a tough run, it was extremely hot out (got the burn to prove it!). But she did great and crossed the finish line which is the important part!
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around the site, took advantage of the gatorade and water shower they had set up.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Weather and the minor detail that none of us had done this before!

Event comments:

Was a great race and loved the location.
