Pre-race routine:

Note to self: Last year I didn't taper much for this race as it was a training race for Timberman. This year I'm in good bike and run shape (not swim because I haven't swum in 2 months) and also tapered.

Predictions 1 week before race:
Swim 16:00 (last year 15:11)
T1 1:30 (last year :48, but looks like T1 is changing locations)
Bike 1:25:00 or 19.4 mph (last year flat tire)
T2 1:00 (last year 1:28)
Run 49:00 (last year 50:59 or 8:09 pace)
TOTAL: 2:32:30 (last year 2:49:21)

Actual
Swim: 13:18
T1: 0:58

Comments:

I swam it at an easy pace. I felt good given that I had no swim training in 2 months. Shoulder hurt a bit, but not bad. I'm a bit disappointed with the swim since I normally expect to finish the swim in the top 10% overall at local races.

I melted in the heat and sun. I was hoping to go at a 7:45 pace. Need to train more and/or smarter.
