Pre-race routine:

Stayed in Texas City. Oly was at 8:30 but came in early to cheer for the Sprinters at 7am.
Event warmup:

Stretched multiple times as the race kept getting pushed back and then the swim portion was eventually canceled.

High winds was the reason/

Wish I pushed a little harder on the out. Thought it was more of a crosswind and didn't expect the headwind coming back.
What would you do differently?:

Push harder on the out.
Transition 2
  • 01m 53s
Comments:

Okay time. Little slow as I was wear testing the next years Brooks Defyance 4's and just kept shoe strings instead of putting in yankz. Probably only cost a few seconds.
What would you do differently?:

Yankz

Comments:

The heat really got to me about a mile in. The sun was brutal and I wasn't ready for it. I was hoping to do about 46 in the run so I wasn't too far off. Lots of great volunteers and lots of fun.
What would you do differently?:

Take a GU at transition for an energy boost.
Post race
Warm down:

Water, pizza, beer

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Heat and wind.

Event comments:

Keith made the right decision in canceling the swim. Always best to error on the side of caution and it would have been difficult to support this swim with the high winds. I was disappointed as this swim leg was going to be a measurement of my swim ability for the IronStar HIM. But we all still had a great time and made the best of an otherwise beautiful Texas day!

That is some niiiiice racing, despite the swim cancellation! Congrats and GOOD JOB!!!
Also, do you have any triathlons lined up prior to your HIM?! Even if it is a Sprint distance, it'll give you a better idea of what the swim portion of a tri is like. You can treat a Sprint as a multisport training workout, and not a RACE race if that helps with planning your training schedule.
Again, awesome job!!
