 		Total Time = 3h 01m 45s
Overall Rank = 78/150

Age Group Rank = 14/15
Pre-race routine:

Early morning start. About an hours drive to the venue. PBJ and a banana, coffee, and water.
Event warmup:

10 minute easy swim. The water was fine but there was a cool breeze going so that made standing around waiting for the start very chilly. Brrr!
Swim
  • 35m 45s
  • 1500 meters
  • 02m 23s / 100 meters
Comments:

Swim is still a weak event for me. My navigation really sucks, so I probably ended up swimming an extra 200 meters or so. I didn't draft because I was constantly off course. One bright spot, I was not fatigued after the swim, so I know with some speed drills I could probably do better.

Started nutrition, Snickers marathon bar.

Comments:

I think I went too conservative on the Bike. Not much training on the bike this year. Since this was my first oly, I was conservative overall.
What would you do differently?:

Train harder and more distance work leading up to the race.
Transition 2
  • 01m 20s
Comments:

Few quick stretches to loosen the back muscles.

Comments:

Ok on the run, actually passed some people.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swim and being too conservative.

Event comments:

Good race overall. Was shooting for a 3 hour finish, and went over that at 3:01. So it built some confidence. Next oly is in July in Dallas.

Good race! Did you see those pictures on the website? Check out triokc.org and click on "message board" to get the link. I guarantee there will be at least one picture with you in it. Are you doing the Redman/Redman Half coming up?
