Sunny

Total Time = 1h 29m 39s
Overall Rank = 233/
Age Group = 30-34
Age Group Rank = 21/34

Pre-race routine:

I tried something a little different today. I decided to "get in the zone" more with some alone time and my ipod. It was nice as it got me psyched and more focused to do the race.

Event warmup:

Very light warmup and some leg and arm stretches.

Swim

08m 59s
500 yards
01m 48s / 100 yards

Comments:

I struggle on this swim for no reason at all. I'm normally much better than what I did, but what can you do. I can blame the seaweed right? :)

What would you do differently?:

To not think the chop will push me around so much. I swam to compensate for it pushing me, but it didn't effect my line as much as I thought it would.

Transition 1

01m 47s

Comments:

Still need to work on my speed in transition. The wetsuit came off a little tough this time, but still not bad.

What would you do differently?:

take deep breaths going into and in transition to calm my body.

Bike

48m 29s
15 miles
18.56 mile/hr

Comments:

Was a very smooth ride, almost felt like I was just out for a cruise on my bike.

What would you do differently?:

Could have gone harder

Transition 2

01m 36s

Comments:

Still need better transitions!!!

Run

28m 48s
3 miles
09m 36s min/mile

Comments:

My downfall is always the run, I've been working on it, and vow to get better. It was pretty warm out there though, and being a bigger guy it hurts.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Post race

Warm down:

Hit the showers for a quick cool down, then some stretching

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Run pace!!!
