Pre-race routine:

I did the unthinkable and bought some new goggles the day before the race.. my socket rockets have been leaking alot lately... so I picked up some barracuda's and they worked flawlessly.. Kudos to Fleet Feet Sac guy who suggested them to me.
Anyway hopped in about 10 minutes before the race and tested out the goggles.. no issues thank god.. SR's were standing by on the shore.
Event warmup:

See above.
Swim

  • 1640 yards
  • 01m 26s / 100 yards
Comments:

This was my best swim so far. If only I could cut 5-7 minutes off my time.
What would you do differently?:

Pass instead of draft.. I'm not the best swimmer so I was content to draft practically the whole way.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

This was a 2 transition race (transitions in different locations) and I realized I left my bottle for cleaning my feet at T2. Needless to say I fumbled around trying to wipe my dirty feet off. I found out after the race that I cut my foot somewhere between the water exit and the bike.. my shoe was all bloody on the inside heel...
What would you do differently?:

Not forget my foot cleaning water bottle.

Comments:

Good ride.. forgot to "acquire" my tri bike cadence sensor from yesterdays road bike ride.. oh i probably shouldn't have done an 80 mile ride the day before!
What would you do differently?:

Not ride 80 miles the day before a race.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

T2 was good. probably less than 1 minute easily.
What would you do differently?:

Oh there's my foot cleaning water bottle!

Comments:

Liked the run maybe could have pushed a little harder.

train more
Post race
Warm down:

Not enough.. couldn't find much food.. only found water.. :(

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of disciplined training :)


Event comments:

Saw a volunteer on the ride making out with his gf.. that would have motivated me a little more if she was a little hotter.
Water boys need to pay attention more.

Good Race. Course wasn't nearly as bad as I was lead to believe. Apparently the course has changed since 2007.

Fun time.....
