Pre-race routine:

Up at 4:30. Light breakfast. Got to event WAY too early - probably the 3rd person there. Walked down to the lake, looked at the waves from the wind. Went back to transition area and pondered the swim.

Comments:

Not an easy swim for my second race. Super windy with large waves. Managed to keep my head for the most part, but had to go to my back 3-4 times to regroup.
Transition 1
  • 03m 31s
Comments:

Didn't push too hard in T1. It was a long run from the beach to the transition area.
Bike
  • 55m 27s

  • 15.15 mile/hr
Comments:

The route was more hilly than I anticipated. I kept a decent pace and saved enough for the run.
What would you do differently?:

Push 10% harder on the bike. That would still left enough for the run.
Transition 2
  • 01m 26s
Comments:

Numb feet don't help in T2. Walked with the bike to avoid falling or tripping.
Run
  • 30m 40s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 09m 53s  min/mile
Comments:

Happy with sub 10-minute miles again. Could have pushed a bit harder in mile 3.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, waiting for results to post.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Waves and wind.
