Age Group = 40-44
Age Group Rank = 1/9

Pre-race routine:

Got to the event late.

Event warmup:

I was literally running to the line when Jeff said 10 seconds to go. I took of my overshirt and zipped up the skin suit and the zipper assembly popped off so it could not be zipped up. I ran to my wife to get my shirt back and Jeff said go. I ran 20 feet back to the start line and put my shirt back on as I ran. No warm up other than to run to the car and back to the line just before the start.

Run

14m 9s

Comments:

Just kept is fairly moderate to hard. My time was 1 second faster than last year.

Transition 1

01m 1s

Comments:

It did not seem like I took this long, but I did get slowed some by some heavy traffic.

Bike

41m 57s
16.14 miles
23.08 mile/hr

Comments:

I am a little disappointed in the bike. I thought I pushed it harder than last year but came up 0:27 seconds slower. Last years event was 30 days later in the year though.

Transition 2

00m 55s

Comments:

Again, I felt like I took less time than this. I messed up jumping off the bike due to a shoe wedged agains the road.

Run

21m 12s
2.7 miles
07m 51s min/mile

Comments:

I tried to run kind of hard and steady. I think I could/should have pushed it a bit harder. The run pace was just a bit slower than last year, but who know since the course was changed.

What would you do differently?:

Push it more.

Post race

Warm down:

Nothing.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

As always, training. Also should have got to the course sooner.

Event comments:

Again, same as last year, the dude volunteers as the 1 mile run station spent their time joking around and never had drinks ready to hand out.
