Pre-race routine:

was running a tad bit late but not as bad as scottie. Prepared some oatmeal but because I was running late I didn't get to eat.

Event warmup:

uhhh, none that I can remember

Swim

18m 36s
750 meters
02m 29s / 100 meters

Comments:

Didn't know what to expect with a seeded swim start but it wasn't bad at all.

What would you do differently?:

Training/prep wise: swim consistently even with a busy work and personal life. Also get more wetsuit swims in.
Race day: concentrate more on the high elbow catch, I got too tired half way to even care...no good!

Transition 1

03m 13s

Comments:

SLOW! Wasn't that worried about going fast. Suit came off pretty fast, i liked that.

What would you do differently?:

focus more on speed

Bike

33m 40s
10.5 miles
18.71 mile/hr

Comments:

not 100% happy with my performance here but good enough for the first race of the season.

What would you do differently?:

train more for now...oh and I want to start practicing the jump mount start for my future tri's. Don't think it'll improve my times by much but I like the idea of worrying about shoes while already on the bike.

Transition 2

01m 22s

Comments:

couldn't find my area right away...didnt realize i was a row over too the right.

What would you do differently?:

pay more attention to my position on the bike racks

Run

27m 12s
3.1 miles
08m 46s min/mile

Comments:

not great but my goal the whole run leg was not to stop and I didn't.

What would you do differently?:

run longer distances when training.

Post race

Warm down:

Jimmy Johns all day!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

studying for a work certification
