Total Time = 3h 08m 17s
Overall Rank = /
Age Group = 40-44
Age Group Rank = 7/
Pre-race routine:

got up ridiculously early, ate a peanut butter sandwich, got lost once driving but had planned extra time so still was early. Set up my bike, etc.
Event warmup:

swam to first bouy and back
Swim
  • 35m 11s
  • 1640 yards
  • 02m 08s / 100 yards
Comments:

swim time also counts running to transition area, which is a ways from the water.
What would you do differently?:

swim in a straight line
Transition 1
  • 02m 40s
Comments:

first time in several years using a wetsuit for a race so I am ok with this.
Bike
  • 1h 28m 46s
  • 24.85 miles
  • 16.80 mile/hr
Comments:

I really wasn't happy with this but it seems like I develop ADD as soon as I get on the bike and really have trouble focusing.
What would you do differently?:

Go faster and focus
Transition 2
  • 02m 10s
Comments:

I actually spent 30-45 seconds helping the woman next to me as the bikes on the other side of her were racked too close and she didn't have any space to put her bike.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Run
  • 59m 28s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 09m 35s  min/mile
Comments:

It was a hilly course and the trails were a little bumpy but I was expecting that so I am ok with the run.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe push a little more at the end. I felt fine afterwards so I probably could have. Knowing the course better probably would have made this easier.

Great job out there today Anna.  Nice meeting you.  I like the ADD reference, ain't it the truth.

Good Job Anna!  That was a hard sprint course, so I'm sure the Olympic was 10x harder.  Good race!

Nice race, I'm starting to have a lot more respect for people that can put together a decent run in these longer races. One day I hope to get there.

I am curious, what qualifies as "getting up ridiculously early" in your world? From my point of view you do this nearly every day
