Overall Rank = 17/184

Pre-race routine:

Woke up early, ate 2 english muffins w/ PB & Honey, 2 boosts, 2 sweet potatos and made sure I had all of my gear.

Event warmup:

Event warmup for me is to make sure transition is setup and to have a gu before the swim, at a race this distance I prefer no warmup

2112 yards
01m 40s / 100 yards

Comments:

Swim was strong for me considering I had swam just 4 times all year (all in the 8 days leading up to the race)

What would you do differently?:

Swim more before race, pick better people to draft off of

Transition 1

02m 41s

Comments:

Had problem mounting bike for some reason, need more practice instead of relying on things going my way

What would you do differently?:

jump on bike like I usually do and not be worried about clipping rear hydration

Bike

56 miles
21.82 mile/hr

Comments:

Lots of shifting on this course, made up A LOT of ground. Came out of the water in 55th, started run in 12th!!

What would you do differently?:

Nothing, bike is def. my strength

Transition 2

01m 33s

Comments:

T2 was good, had a great rack spot by run start!

What would you do differently?:

nothing

Run

1h 40m
13.1 miles
07m 38s min/mile

Comments:

Run was strong for me, had to pace myself coming off bike b/c I felt so good, took in hydration as needed at aid stations, one bathroom break, lots of gu's, on cramp I had to fight off by uphill at mile ~9 where stairs are finished really strong though!

Post race

Warm down:

Crossed line and cooled down, got recovery drink and stretched. ICE BATH!
