Pre-race routine:

Up at 5:00 AM to eat so that I'd have 3:00 hrs before race. Did not want anything sitting on stomach during race. Water.
Event warmup:

Warmed up with running and stretching before the race
Run

  • 2 miles

Comments:

Good run no real problems. Some congestion at the start that slowed me up.
What would you do differently?:

Push a bit harder. I think I had it in me and I definitely had the cardio capacity on the bike to recover HR.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

Put cages on my bike for this race. Had some trouble getting into them as it was a setup I hadn't messed with
What would you do differently?:

For transition, not much

Comments:

Felt good going out. Could maintain power, cadence and speed. Had tailwind going out and headwind coming back. Slowed the return. Cramped calves on way back due to using cages. That forced me to slow up to keep them from locking up.
What would you do differently?:

No cages. They shifted my pedal stroke and placed forces into my calves, which cramped in the last 1 mi or so. I could tell it was from foot placement on the bike. The time lost from that would have let me change shoes!
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

No problems with transition or bad legs.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Run
  • 19m 1s
  • 2 miles
  • 09m 31s  min/mile
Comments:

Stopped early to massage calves. Once I got out about 1/2 mi, was able to work them out and finish strong.
What would you do differently?:

No cages (or at least practice with them)
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Should have changed shoes. It would have paid off.
