Overall Rank = 234/328
Age Group = Novice
Age Group Rank = 9/26

Pre-race routine:

not much of a routine, only my second tri. I just sucked in the atmosphere and got my transition area ready. I did have a granola bar and an apple before the race. I also nursed my gatorade.

Event warmup:

NONE... the swim is my warm up.

Swim

19m 37s
820 yards
02m 23s / 100 yards

Comments:

I've improved on the swim greatly. I remembered to start my watch this time. Stayed with the main group. Had to adjust my speed a little to draft some. Got a little off course a couple of times ran into the same lady about 3 times. Had a little bit of trouble with water in the goggles. Exited the water at a good depth, was able to run out.

What would you do differently?:

get better seal on goggles. Take the inside postion so it's more of a straight shot. Really, I have no complaints

Transition 1

01m 53s

Comments:

I did pretty good. Faster than last year. I didn't practice prior to the race, but everything went smooth.

What would you do differently?:

Yanks... and velcro bike shoes.

Bike

38m 55s
11 miles
16.96 mile/hr

Comments:

I knew I was unprepared for the bike. I actually did a little better than I expected. It's nice to start in the last wave and have all kinds of people to pass. Need had 2/3 gatoraid in water bottle.Need 50/50 mix.

What would you do differently?:

train more on the bike.

Transition 2

01m 31s

Comments:

I did dismount too early, ran the last 75 to 100 meters.

What would you do differently?:

Dismount in proper area.

Run

24m 53s
3.11 miles
08m min/mile

Comments:

went faster than it felt. After the bike my legs felt a little shot. I didn't do any bricks in training.

What would you do differently?:

Do bricks in training

Post race

Warm down:

walked with the fam. Grabbed water, dew and a couple pieces of pizza.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

didn't train as well
