Sunny

Total Time = 1h 04m 59s
Overall Rank = 21/153
Age Group = M45-49

Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 6:30, had some toast with honey, coffee and headed to the race.

Event warmup:

Ran about a mile to warmup, no bike warmup or swim warmup.

Swim

05m 36s
328 yards
01m 43s / 100 yards

Comments:

Bleh. Not a fan of a pool swim, narrow lanes, felt very slow but looking at the times, who knows.

Transition 1

00m 48s

Comments:

Good transition, no problems.

Bike

35m 27s
11.5 miles
19.46 mile/hr

Comments:

Thought I had a good bike, felt fine, felt like I was riding hard. I did not set my cadence/speedometer and just rode by feel.

What would you do differently?:

Looking back maybe I should have looked at the speedometer, my bike time was almost two minutes slower than last year. I have been riding twice as much so I would have thought it would have been better.

Transition 2

00m 38s

Comments:

Nothing special, first race in 6 months so it was good to have a trouble free transistion.

Run

22m 32s
3.11 miles
07m 15s min/mile

Comments:

Very happy with the run, I ran the same time as last year but considering my lack of running it felt great and had no hamstring issues.

Post race

Warm down:

Stretched

Event comments:

Fun race, not crazy about a pool swim but once that was over you could not have asked for a better day! Weather was perfect and it was fun to race again. Good boost for White Lake.
