Overall Rank = 28/327
Age Group = 40-44

Pre-race routine:

Woke up @ 5 like usual. Ate PB&J and sipped on some G'Ade on the way to the park.

Event warmup:

Fifteen min easy bike w/ a couple of pickups thrown in. Short run w/ some pickups. Followed by about 5 min or so of swimming.

Swim

09m 9s
600 yards
01m 30s / 100 yards

Comments:

Non-USAT race so wet suits were legal. For one of the first times I was actually able to draft in the first part of this race. I drafted off the lead swimmers in the wave until the first buoy and then I got tangled up with some slower swimmers in one of the previous waves. Rest of the swim was uneventful.

What would you do differently?:

Keep swimming hard and practicing open water swimming.

Transition 1

01m 31s

Comments:

Uneventful.

What would you do differently?:

Keep practicing and go faster.

Comments:

Good bike for me. I pushed the pace hard from the beginning. Best bike split I've had on this course.

What would you do differently?:

More miles & more intervals in training.

Transition 2

00m 30s

Comments:

Fastest in AG!

What would you do differently?:

Keep practicing and pushing.

Run

22m 59s
3.11 miles
07m 23s min/mile

Comments:

I thought I was leading my AG when I got off the bike. Turns out I was second. I got passed by my buddy Bobby around the 1 mile mark and another guy in my AG passed me around mile 2. Need to run harder/faster.

What would you do differently?:

Need to be more consistent w/ my run training.

Post race

Warm down:

Crossed finish line and thought about vomiting. Held off the vomit and sat in the lake w/ my buddy Bobby. Hung out waiting for awards, but the set up computer crashed and the awards ceremony was cancelled. Pleased w/ my effort today. Course PR!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My run is still holding me back. I need to be more consistent w/ my weekly mileage along w/ some harder running.
