Pre-race routine:

Usual...driving to race and trying to choke down some breakfast!

Event warmup:

Not much. Short run and then warming up in the water.

Swim

19m 16s
875 yards
02m 12s / 100 yards

Comments:

Well, as soon as my wave started my goggles fogged up. I couldn't see crap! I was heading towards the first buoy and about 100 yards away I could barely make out the buoy but could see a safety boat about 10 yards left of buoy so I headed towards it and would turn when I got close. Well, I actually passed the buoy and as I was swimming towards the boat he started paddling backwards. I swam 25 yards past the first buoy! The rest of the swim was difficult at best to navigate.

What would you do differently?:

Bought new goggles! I should have been 3 minutes faster but I was having to stop and tread water to look up and get my bearings.

Comments:

What a great run! I came through mile 1 at 5:58 and decided to back off a bit to make sure that I finished strong. That worked well and I had my best run to date in a tri!

Post race

Warm down:

Went for a short run...about a mile.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The swim! I probably was pretty close to max on the bike and run.

Event comments:

Well, despite the swim issues it was a great race!
