Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 5:00am. Ate half of a banana and a granola bar. Drank a Red Bull on the car ride there.

Event warmup:

swam about 150 in the lake before we got going.

Swim

11m 8s
600 yards
01m 50s / 100 yards

Comments:

Did pretty well on the swim. Took me about 100 yards or so to find a guy to draft off of. Stuck on his toes for the rest of the swim. Only hit a little trouble when I was rounding the first buoy. Got a bit too close to the inside and it got congested.

What would you do differently?:

Take the first turn wider.

Transition 1

01m 26s

Comments:

Decent transition. No problems getting the wetsuit off or the bike shoes on.

Bike

40m
15 miles
22.50 mile/hr

Comments:

Got exactly a 40 minute bike split! Definitely hammered on the bike and flew through that course! I even was fast enough to pass a few people in my wave!

This was my first race on the new bike... more about that later!

What would you do differently?:

Go even faster!

Transition 2

01m 8s

Comments:

Great T2! Got the shoes off while I was still riding in towards transition. Did a flying dismount exactly at the line and sprinted into T2.

Run

27m 38s
3.1 miles
08m 55s min/mile

Comments:

Dear J_Cow. You stink at running. Go do more of it.

Ok that being said. I didn't do so hot with the run, as expected. I really need to get out there and work on my running!

Ok so back to the bike: The tri geometry made a world of difference going from the bike to the run! I hopped off the bike and started running and was stunned at how good my legs felt after going that hard on the bike.

What would you do differently?:

Not suck at running so much.

Post race

Warm down:

Poured some ice water on my head. Drank a bottle of Gatorade Endurance. Had some yummy food.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing limited my performance other than my awful running abilities.
