Pre-race routine:

Arrived late... 12:30 for the 1pm start
Got stuff to tranistion, race kit, then met friends at the beach. Setup transition and was getting wetsuit on when the first wave went...

Event warmup:

None

Swim

13m 37s
750 meters
01m 49s / 100 meters

Comments:

Swam well, sighting of buoys was good, but slowed around buoys and when travelling thru the previous wave. First 100 was like a warmup, might have went out too fast though.

What would you do differently?:

Warmup a little

Transition 1

01m 52s

Comments:

Googles fell when running up the hill. Someone noticed and called out so I stopped for a couple of seconds to get them... Velcro on wetsuit to hold the string came off as well. Shoes just didn't want to get clipped in for some reason - need more practice with that.

What would you do differently?:

Keep trying with the wetsuit removal be stepping on it. Clip in right away.

Bike

34m 20s
19 kms
33.20 km/hr

Comments:

Comfortable ride, but slower time than last year...

What would you do differently?:

Just need to ride more (and faster).

Transition 2

01m 8s

Run

20m 21s
5 kms
04m 04s min/km

Comments:

Very comfortable run. Weather was just cool enough.

What would you do differently?:

Pick up the pace a little - try to break 20.

Post race

Warm down:

Walked around... ran with the kids in the 1km fun run.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Bike training
