Pre-race routine:

Comments:

I hate beach starts. I wade in slowly and get caught up in traffic. I need to get some more speed, but I was out of the water in 15' so I got my 2'/100m average I was shooting for.
What would you do differently?:

Start out faster.

Overall a good ride. Beat my 20mph average I was shooting for.
Transition 2
  • 01m 43s
Comments:

Hopped off my bike and my calves immediately cramped. I almost fell over. I have never had that happen before. Maybe the lack of sleep and overall fatigue. I totally trained over the distance so I doubt it was a lack of fitness. Then I hobbled through Transition and had a horribly long T2. I should be well under 1:00.

Comments:

The first mile I was shuffling and trying to avoid both calves cramping and locking up. I have never had this, but after the first mile they were fine. My first mile was at 8:00 then 7:06 then 6:45.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My darn calves cramping. If not for this, I would have been at least 2 minutes faster. Still would have been 4th in my AG.
