Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 5am feeling like sh*t because I slept in my car. Anyways.....stretched, ate a Oatmeal-To-Go (so good) and a Power Bar. Drank a ton of water since I lost so much when I was sweating (from sleeping in my car).....
Event warmup:

Swam around in the water for a few minutes to get loose and watched the HIM folks head out. Water felt nice.
Swim
  • 15m 59s
  • 820 yards
  • 01m 57s / 100 yards
Comments:

My great swim times in the pool are translating into bad swim times in the open water.....haven't figured out why yet. Dissapointed.
What would you do differently?:

Devote more training time in open water.
Transition 1
  • 01m 6s
Comments:

Took 40 seconds off my T1 time from my last race, so that is encouraging.
What would you do differently?:

I was kinda disoriented after the swim and the long run to T1, but other than that I just need to work on small mechanics. I need to get T1 under 1 minute.
Bike

  • 20.06 mile/hr
Comments:

I liked this course way more than my last race, seemed more fun. Me and 2 guys from my age group battled the whole time, trying to match each other which made it a lot more exciting. I was more than satisfied this time since I didn't blow up on the bike like my first race. I can attribute that to a fair amount of hill training lately and I feel like I can improve a lot more!
What would you do differently?:

Just keep training, cutting time here and there.
Transition 2
  • 01m 16s
Comments:

How was my time here slower than my T1? Who knows....I was a bit wiped out after pushing hard on the bike, plus it was hot as hell!
What would you do differently?:

Just keep practicing.
Run
  • 23m 46s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 38s  min/mile
Comments:

I can run so much faster than this! It took me 2 miles just to get my feet back under me after the bike. This one guy and I ran with each other almost the entire course just keeping each other motivated, that was a really cool experience since at anytime the heat could have claimed one of us haha.
What would you do differently?:

Train harder.
Post race
Warm down:

Drank a ton of fluids, ate a melted Powerbar, stretched a little bit, cheered some finishers on. After the race I went and chatted with someone in my age group who I knew beat me and asked him how he did. When he told me he thought he finished 7th or 8th I thought he meant in our age group so I figured not to stick around and see the awards. This morning I come to find out he meant overall and I placed 3rd in my AG and didn't even know it!!! UGHHHHHH I wish I could have gotten my award but I guess knowing I did ok is almost as good =).

What limited your ability to perform faster:

This was only my 2nd race, so I'm improving quickly!

I had fun!

Great looking race..Pretty strong across the board, esp. for a second-ever race.

Congrats on your hardware.
