Pre-race routine:

NOt much. My buddy was late getting there and I was on the phone while looking on my gps trying to navigat him to the event. I was rushed to get marked and set up
Swim
  • 14m 15s
  • 800 meters
  • 01m 47s / 100 meters
Comments:

The T1 time is factored into the swim which killed me. I had been told horror stories about the start of the swim for a rookie like myself so I was prepared for the worst. I was confident that I could hold my own in the speed category so I tried to get in from of the pack. It seemed to work. I had only a few hands to my head. Navication in the murky water was the biggest problem but turned out to be OK.
What would you do differently?:

I left the water feeling very energetic and not fatigued at all. I think I could swim harder next time
Transition 1
  • 03m 34s
Comments:

I am not sure what the problem was here but it screwed my swim time that would have been good. The lack of time to set up my transition area in a logical way took its tole here. Shoes went on slow, jersey was not unzipped enough to get my head in it. Little things I will remember next time really wasted time. To top it all off, I had real trouble getting clipped into my pedals.
What would you do differently?:

Take more time setting up transition!
Bike
  • 48m
  • 16.5 miles
  • 20.62 mile/hr
Comments:

THe bike was great. I only got passed by 2 people and wad able to pass many. I was able to keep pretty much a constant pace and stayed in my aero bars the whole race. I was pretty happy with the bike. I was able to drink 2 bottles of water while I rode in prep for the Hot and humid run.
What would you do differently?:

I think I could maintain a little faster pace next time on that distance
Transition 2
  • 01m 18s
Comments:

This transition went much faster. Changed shoes and shirt.
What would you do differently?:

everything just a little faster.
Run
  • 22m 40s
  • 3 miles
  • 07m 34s  min/mile
Comments:

I didn't get that Jelly leg feeling as much as I thought I would. I wore my HRM and it told me I was working pretty hard but I felt slow. Must have been the heat. I could improve this time by a minute or so in cool weather...maybe.
What would you do differently?:

Not sure what I could to technically. I just neeed to run faster.
Post race
Warm down:

walked to finish like to watch finishers

What limited your ability to perform faster:

HEAT

Event comments:

It was my first triathalon and I had a great time. I think I trainied for longer distance than this race wand and it paid off. Now...On to olympic distance next month!
