Pre-race routine:

I had a 4:25 pm start time so it was different. i ate light during the day (making sure to get teh easily digestible calories i needed). i left home 1.5 hours before start time. i had to do some investigating to figure out where things were. I fortunate to meet Doug and his family before the event.

Event warmup:

I road my bike to the pool with the trailer for my equipment. I jogged everywhere i went. i swam 200 m.

i forgot to pul out my hand towel.

Comments:

this is only the 3rd time i have been on a stationary bike and the first in a race so i think it went OK but i know i can do better next time

What would you do differently?:

i didn't really start pedaling at GO. It took 20 seconds before I had my level set and cadence up.

Transition 2

Comments:

5 minutes to get to the run start. i changed clothes and just barely made the start. someone before threw up all over the place in the bathroom which made changing unpleasant. i am glad i changed. i was a dripping mess and i needed the coolest clothes possible

15m
2.47 miles
06m 05s min/mile

Comments:

i really went alot slower than i thought i would. i figured i could maintain my 5k pace (5:51/mile but I ran 6:05's)

What would you do differently?:

not be a wussy

Post race

Warm down:

jogged around, road the bike home

What limited your ability to perform faster:

mental weakness. lack of bike and run training

Event comments:

It was a fun event - being a mile from my house was a huge bonus. nice to meet Doug. nice time of year for an event. they had a fun awards ceremony. half the participants got together and they announced placers and had fun with it. most tris have nothin.
