Pre-race routine:

Ate some cereal and peanut butter toast, grabbed a coffee on the way to the race site. Sipped water along the way.

Swam a few laps prior to my 2nd heat starting; short jog, some stretching and ate a GU.

Comments:

Pool Swim. Six to a lane. Pretty crammed and together the whole race. Not real fluid due to bunching up.

What would you do differently?:

Not real sure I could do anyting differently. Went with it and remained calm and patient.

Transition 1

Comments:

Transitioned fine. Always forget to push my lap button on my watch prio to entering and leaving transition. Had to wear a jacket and it was a little nippy in the morning. Had a little difficulty getting it on with wet arms, but managed.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Comments:

Total time on bike includes the bike transition. I came in somewhere around 36 min.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Pushed it pretty much the whole way. Moved up a bit on my set an it helped. My rear end is sore.

Comments:

In and out as usual. Nothing to add here.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Post race
