Pre-race routine:

Had 1-2 cups of coffee and a bagel ~2 hours before start. Then munched on some shot blocks and gatorade while getting things set up. Had 1-2 servings of shot bloks about 15 minutes before the race start.

Did a very short swim warmup.

Comments:

I think I overall spent a lot of heart beats on the swim. When coming out of the water, I could not run to transition, I had to walk. My pace was also quite slow given the effort. (2:10/100yd)
Transition 1
  • 04m 5s
Comments:

Had to sit down to get my wetsuit off. I think it was because my hands/arms were cold.
11 in my AG
Bike
  • 1h 22m 6s
  • 26.3 miles
  • 19.22 mile/hr
Comments:

Was passed by only 1-2 people the whole bike. I was overall pretty happy with this bike.
Transition 2
  • 01m 22s
Comments:

Fastest T2 in my AG. However, I spent a lot of time getting my helmet off, and I had to sit down, which is rare for me. I was first in my AG and 20th overall (of 300 or so) for this transition, although it felt slow to me.
Also, I wanted to keep my bike shoes clipped into the bike, but I could tell as I approached transition that my fingers were too cold. So I kept my shoes on and ran in them thru transition.
What would you do differently?:

20 overall in T2 out of 202
Run
  • 58m 56s
  • 6.2 miles
  • 09m 31s  min/mile
Comments:

Quads cramping. Not a good run.
What would you do differently?:

I need to get more salt into my system.

Event comments:

Well run race. However, they needed more personnel to direct traffic on both the bike and run courses.
