Overcast

Overall Rank = 28/126
Age Group = 30-34
Age Group Rank = 1/10
Pre-race routine:

Got up about 1.5 hrs prior to TA open and made myself eat since I knew I would be waiting forever for my wave. Sipped a disposable bottle of water for the hour between TA close and go time, then chucked the bottle in the trash can on the beach.
Event warmup:

Splashed around for a bit about 30 mins prior to wave start. Note to self, goggles get slimy/foggy inside after doing this which made the race suck.

  • 410 yards

Comments:

First time in OW, wasn't sure what to expect. Swim was poor as anticipated.
What would you do differently?:

Attack the surf!
Transition 1
  • 03m 9s
Comments:

RD said no AG flying squirrel mounts and we couldnt run inside the TA which made for slow T1 coupled w/ the ridiculous 1/4 mile uphill switchback run from the swim exit into TA
What would you do differently?:

Run the switchback
Bike
  • 20m 44s
  • 6.2 miles
  • 17.94 mile/hr
Comments:

Since this was my first tri, I wasn't sure how hard to push it on the bike. Could have gone faster through turns but there were a lot of people on the course and I didn't want to crash into anyone or make anyone else crash.
What would you do differently?:

Go harder.
Transition 2
  • 01m 14s
Comments:

Quick and simple.
What would you do differently?:

Get out of shoes before dismount line instead of keeping them on and running into TA w/ them on my feet.
Run

Comments:

Felt ok, could have gone out a little harder.
What would you do differently?:

Go harder.
Post race
Warm down:

Hung out and waited for awards.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My swim sucked, and I didn't push hard enough on the other two events.

Event comments:

Good race for a first timer like myself. Marked well, pre race vid at expo was very helpful. Will run it again.
