Pre-race routine:

Slept late since we were staying at the race site. Rode the bike a few miles and ran a mile. Made it to the dock right before my group went into the water.

Swim

17m 20s
1056 yards
01m 38s / 100 yards

Comments:

A bit slow, but steady.

What would you do differently?:

Practice more open water swimming prior to the race.

01m 59s

Bike

1h 13m 37s
28 miles
22.82 mile/hr

Comments:

I felt good on way out and luckily the wind was slightly at our backs on the way back. Overall a smooth ride. I hope I can keep that pace for the Half in Kansas.

What would you do differently?:

Buy aero wheels?

Transition 2

01m 14s

Comments:

Almost fell when I ran off the bike. My legs weren't ready for it. I have to remember that for my races that are longer than a sprint. Put on socks since feet were cut the day before.

Run

47m 10s
6.5 miles
07m 16s min/mile

Comments:

Good start; died between miles 4 and 5; then had a strong finish. I did get boxed out at the finish line. It was the first time that has ever happened to me. Will have to be mindful in the future. It didn't really matter anyway since we weren't competing for a top 3 spot, but I still didn't like it.

What would you do differently?:

Be smarter at the finish.

Post race

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Potentially the race the day before. Early in the season.

Event comments:

Fun well organized event in a great location. If at all possible I will be back next year.
