Pre-race routine:

This was my first race, so I quite have a routine yet. It took me about 6 hours to pack the 10 things that I brought. Hopefully, I can narrow that down! :)
Event warmup:

I rode my bike from the car to the transition area.
Swim
  • 10m 56s
  • 400 meters
  • 02m 44s / 100 meters
What would you do differently?:

I forgot to take my inhaler beforehand, so breathing became tough. I will have more time to train for swimming next year. I only recently learned proper swim techniques.

Comments:

Ankles were bothering me. Then once my legs warmed up, my left foot felt like it fell asleep. For the entire last mile, I had to jog slowly or walk. Realized too late that the timing chip had become too tight and was cutting off the circulation to my foot.
Post race
Warm down:

Cheering, hugging family. Not enough stretching afterwards.
Did pilates and yoga the next day.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I don't have a road bike; I have a hybrid. Next year, I hope to get a road bike with tri-bars. I know that would help the bike time.

Conrats on a great finish the first time out!

I did the Naperville Sprint Tri as well. Hopefully, based on the number of people who participated the race will be back next year!

Great job!
