Pre-race routine:

Got up, ate a banana and half of a bagel with peanut butter and rode to the course. Set up transition, and waited. I was in wave 17. I rocked out to my pump-up playlist, it was awesome

Event warmup:

Rode to transition, ran a bit, swam in the lake,

Swim

440 yards
01m 49s / 100 yards

Comments:

It was a bit weedy out there. I also have no clue why everybody decided to swim farther away from the buoys. It was a bit weird being the closest to the buoys, unmolested. The sun was TERRIBLE on the way in... I couldn't see anything, so I just went with it. I am truly surprised with how poorly my swim went. I thought I had done much better time-wise, as I have been swimming significantly faster in the pool. Oh well, I just know what I need to practice more

What would you do differently?:

New googles

Transition 1

Comments:

Need to buy triathlon shoes, I didn't risk falling over, took the safe way out

What would you do differently?:

Buy triathlon shoes and use the jumping/flying start

Comments:

I gunned it on this one. I just wanted to see how I could do while pushing it harder than usual. Ended up going well, especially considering I wasn't fresh

What would you do differently?:

More TiTS

Transition 2

01m 5s

Comments:

Went okay, but again, having triathlon shoes would have enabled me to better get my feet out of my shoes quicker

What would you do differently?:

Buy triathlon shoes

Run

19m 33s
3.1 miles
06m 19s min/mile

Comments:

I was surprised by my speed on this. I thought the hills would have killed my time, but they didn't. I just went by how I was feeling for this one, no HRM or anything. I think that this course was actually a bit short.

What would you do differently?:

Be tapered? Not much, running is definitely my strong suit.

Post race

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not being tapered, interval training the day before.

Event comments:

Well run race, the best sprint course that I've raced on by FAR
