Cordele, Georgia
United States
Georgia Multisports
Overcast

Total Time = 1h 02m 51s
Overall Rank = 8/202
Age Group = 20-24
Age Group Rank = 2/19

Pre-race routine:

Spent the night before to avoid long drive in the morning. Ate a Powerbar, drank a bottle of water and headed to the race site.

Event warmup:

Set up transition, stretch, head down to swim start about 30 min. to race time to get in a light warmup.

Swim

05m 54s
400 yards
01m 29s / 100 yards

Comments:

Swimming in OW is slowly but surely improving. I have got to work on navigation, everytime I looked up I had drifted off to the left a little. Probably lost about 30-60 seconds re-correcting myself.

What would you do differently?:

Swim straight.

Transition 1

01m 25s

Comments:

I'm guessing since the swim times were right on and the T1 times were all above a minute that the mat was farther back than I thought, because I was lightning fast in the Transition Area.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Bike

34m 56s
13.6 miles
23.36 mile/hr

Comments:

Can't complain with this. I've only been biking for about 4 months so I'm happy to be at this point.

What would you do differently?:

Just keep workin.

Transition 2

00m 34s

Comments:

Pretty quick, fought with my shoes for a brief second.

What would you do differently?:

Ehh.

Run

20m 4s
3.1 miles
06m 28s min/mile

Comments:

I am happy with this time, it is my best 5k this year! I have to keep working on it though because this is nowhere near the pace I want to be running at.

What would you do differently?:

Keep training.

Post race

Warm down:

Basically walked around like a zombie and got eaten by a million gnats for 2 hours before awards started. Seriously, I have never seen so many gnats....

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Experience, still on rookie season. My main goal coming into this race was just hoping to be under 1 hr and 5 min. I did, therefore I'm satisfied!

Event comments:

Typical Ga Multisports blunders from what I have seen, but I think everybody had a pretty good time! =)
