Total Time = 1h 22m 30s
Overall Rank = /191
Age Group = <39 Clydes
Age Group Rank = 7/13

Pre-race routine:

PB&J and cup of coffee about 2 hours before race. A few bites of powerbar right before.

Event warmup:

Kept waiting to warmup becuase the start was too far off. Then got distracted. Next thing I know the race is starting and I had not yet warmed up. Poor time management.

Swim

13m 58s
950 yards
01m 28s / 100 yards

Comments:

Sucked horribly at the start. Blamed this on lack of a warmup. But once I got in the swing it clicked. Passed a LOT of people. I'm pretty happy with 33/191 and 3rd in my AG.

What would you do differently?:

Warm up more. Line up closer to the front.

Transition 1

03m 3s

Comments:

Not included in this time was T0: A 300 yard run from the beach to T1. T0 time was: 2:19

Timing chip got stuck on wetsuit. Had to remove chip. Forgot chip and had to go back in T1 to get it costing me about 45sec to 1 min.

What would you do differently?:

Make sure chip does not get caught. Need to try having shoes already clipped in.

Bike

35m 50s
12.43 miles
20.81 mile/hr

Comments:

Did not feel great on the first half. By the second half was hammering it pretty good.

What would you do differently?:

I need more time in the saddle to work on maintaining a hard pace for the distance.

Transition 2

01m 27s

Comments:

Not too bad. The racks were so low I had an issue getting my TALL bike in the racks.

Run

25m 50s
2.75 miles
09m 23s min/mile

Comments:

Legs would NOT turn over. Just not feeling great. Breathing was fine, legs were just like bricks.

What would you do differently?:

Need to do more bike/run bricks.

Post race

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Need more training. Overall was a good first race of the season.
