Pre-race routine:

Overnight in Canmore, Sleepnumber beds are NOT GOOD. 4 bottles of wine with dinner are NOT GOOD. Got up early and had a banana, yogurt drink

slow easy jog 1/4km

Swim

08m 16s
300 meters
02m 46s / 100 meters

Comments:

3 swimmers per lane placed by estimated swim time. I was third one in my lane and could not pass the 2 slower swimmers in my lane, could have cut 30-45s off my time.

What would you do differently?:

More agressive in my passing, make the others get out of my way. assert my will.

Transition 1

Comments:

T1 time included with swim split. transition was 1/2km from pool exit, lost some time putting shoes on out of pool for T run. carpet was over gravel and HS parking lot, Saw glass on the way into pool and I decided not to risk cutting feet.

Bike

24m 4s
9 kms
22.44 km/hr

Comments:

Bike was my strongest event. did not change out of shorts, brought tights just in case, deiced against it and I am happy with that.

What would you do differently?:

Need to tighten cleats before next race. left foot popped off twice.

Transition 2

Run

24m 49s
3 kms
08m 16s min/km

What would you do differently?:

eat better before the race.

Post race

Warm down:

easy jog back to truck with my gear and walk with my family while the rest of the pack finished up.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

wine the night before

Event comments:

I will be back next year FOR SURE. A great warm up for Father's day Brunch. Great scenery, Well organized and announced, prizes were above and beyond what I expected. Smith events does a great job on their events.
