Total Time = 1h 16m 42s
Overall Rank = 101/327
Age Group = 45-49
Age Group Rank = 13/20

Pre-race routine:

Google said it was an hour drive so left home at 4:30 to be there when transition opened at 5:30. Unfortunately it's a 1.5 hour drive but still made it in plenty of time.

Event warmup:

the 1/2 hour difference in drive time meant no time for warmup.

Swim

07m 35s
437 yards
01m 44s / 100 yards

Comments:

Seems like everyone did a decent job of reporting accurate 400m times because I only passed one person and didn't get passed by anyone myself.

What would you do differently?:

nothing...it was a decent swim beat last year's time by :13

Transition 1

01m 33s

Comments:

decent transition

What would you do differently?:

consider going sockless but beat last year's time by :35

Bike

40m 18s
12.43 miles
18.51 mile/hr

Comments:

went really hard on the bike but still am lacking comparitively...need to work on climbing.

What would you do differently?:

train harder on hills and get more time in the saddle but did beat last year's time by 3:25

Transition 2

01m 3s

Comments:

went pretty well but had a long run to the rack

What would you do differently?:

overall went pretty well beat last year's time by :05 but need to try to get it under a minute

Run

26m 14s
3.11 miles
08m 26s min/mile

Comments:

this was a very tough run as I knew it would be when I was cooking my legs on the bike.

What would you do differently?:

I'm wondering if I would have taken the time to get my watch off the bike if I would have pushed harder and not let my pace fall off but I beat last year's time by :48

Post race

Warm down:

walked for a bit and stretched and showered.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of endurance training

Event comments:

took 5:03 off of last year's time...hard to be dissappointed with that but still long to be more competitive.
