Overcast

Total Time = 1h 27m 11s
Overall Rank = 66/982
Age Group = M25-29
Age Group Rank = 7/76

Pre-race routine:

Nothing special, just setting up transition and taking a couple bathroom breaks. Breakfast was a powerbar.

Event warmup:

Just got in the water to test the Temp, not really for a warmup.

Swim

16m 14s
457 meters
03m 33s / 100 meters

Comments:

Boooo. Water temp was perfect for swimming without a wetsuit, but I couldn't keep my legs from sinking. I can't officially blame anything but myself. The water was rough though and there was a strong rip current. Doesn't mater though because my bike was waiting for me on dry land; one way or another I made it through the swim.

Transition 1

01m 28s

Comments:

Not superhero quick, but faster than most. Took some time to bitch about the swim and take a drink of water.

Bike

50m 8s
18.64 miles
22.31 mile/hr

Comments:

Knew I had a bad swim but could make up for it on the bike. Pace was comfortably hard; fast but nothing that was killing me.

Transition 2

00m 58s

Comments:

Pretty quick.

What would you do differently?:

arrive earlier for better placement in transition.

Run

18m 22s
3.11 miles
05m 55s min/mile

Comments:

It's easier to find rabbits on the run than it is on the bike. Didn't really feel like I was pressing myself as hard as a tempo run effort, but I think I was moving as fast as my body wanted to let me. I was focused more on rabbit hunting than chasing the clock.

What would you do differently?:

Burn my legs out.

Post race

Warm down:

Got a warm down hug from Lauren and then enjoyed some gatorade and bananas before a long wait in the free massage line.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Forgetting how to swim.

Event comments:

Well organized and affordable. An easy course with a challenging swim.
