Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 6:15, got dressed, packed car, ate oatmeal and drank some water. Out of the house by 6:50. Thirty minute ride to race site.

Event warmup:

None really. Spent all my time setting up transition area.

Swim

11m 16s
640 meters
01m 46s / 100 meters

Comments:

This swim was much better than Kinetic however I was very winded at the end. I took about 30 seconds in T1 to catch my breath.

What would you do differently?:

Do some high intensity intervals in my training to avoid being so winded. Also, I need to learn to keep my form throughout the whole swim.

Transition 1

02m 43s

Comments:

As mentioned earlier, I took 30 seconds to catch my breath. Also, I could not get my wetsuit off of my ankles. I should probably practice putting on shoes while on the bike.

What would you do differently?:

Get wetsuit off faster.

Bike

46m 15s
14.5 miles
18.81 mile/hr

Comments:

Started the bike riding at 22-23 mph and it felt comfortable. After we turned off of the main road we were hit with a pretty stiff headwind.
This really slowed me down. I went all out but my legs were dead. Breathing was fine

What would you do differently?:

I need to get out on the bike more.

Transition 2

01m 33s

Comments:

Decided to go sockless on the run. When I slipped on my shoes the tougue or insole were bunched up in my left shoe. I needed to remove it and put it back on. This cost me about 25 seconds.

Run

28m
3.5 miles
08m min/mile

Comments:

My legs were dead and breathing was labored. I just pushed myself along at what felt like a snails pace. I had nothing left in the tank.

What would you do differently?:

More Bricks.

Post race

Warm down:

Waited for JC to finish and then ate some food.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Fitness

Event comments:

Very fun course. Small but well run triathlon.
