Overall Rank = 141/317
Age Group = 30-34

Pre-race routine:

Packed car, drove down the hill, ate oatmeal on drive, signed up for race, set up transition. Saw and hung out with Kylie, Mike, Bjorn, Lisa and Karen.

Event warmup:

Walked around, sucked down a gu and water less than 5 min to start (way to close to start).

Swim

02m
100 yards
02m / 100 yards

Comments:

This was the last event. My muscles were a bit fatigued but after the first 25 yards my stroke was fine. I just swam a consistent relaxed pace.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Transition 1

01m 47s

Comments:

This was run to bike. Changed shoes, threw on helmet and outta there. I got a great spot in the transition that was close to the entrance and exit.

What would you do differently?:

Lock laces. Had to untie my double knots on my running shoes

Bike

36m 21s
9 miles
14.86 mile/hr

Comments:

Enjoyed this ride. I tried to push myself but didn't go all out. Practiced the aero bars as much as I could. I am finally getting comfortable with them.

Transition 2

Comments:

This is bike to swim. The time is just a guess. Racked bike, tore off helmet, socks, shoes and ran to the pool while tucking my race belt into my shirt pocket. A little tough because Kylie and Mike were finished with the race hanging out as I came through.

Run

27m 35s
3.11 miles
08m 52s min/mile

Comments:

A lot of good runners out there. I was chatting with Bjorn the first half. I tried to focus and keep my form. I was pretty far back but got a great personal time!

What would you do differently?:

Forget the gu right before the start.

Post race

Warm down:

Walked around, a little stretching (should have done a lot more). Water and 1/4 grain bagel.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Mentally didn't feel like going all out. But I did push myself at times in the race.

Event comments:

I like this smaller local race. I am sure I will do it again. It is for a great cause and it is awesome seeing all the kids doing their first tri!!!
