Overcast

Total Time = 3h 45m
Overall Rank = 176/178
Age Group = 35-39

Pre-race routine:

went to a wedding 2.5 hours away night before. Got home and in bed by 1:30 up at 4:30. At a bagel, gatorade, powerbar. Sluggish, still tired. Thankfully no booze at wedding. Wore new shoes though, dumb. Blister started to form on left heel but caught it before started to bubble up.

Event warmup:

stretched and walked around. First Olympic Distance. Waves were choppy,.,

Swim

49h 12m
1640 yards
2h 59m 57s / 100 yards

Comments:

Need to improve technique a lot more... biggest room for improvement I think is swimming. Finally comfortable in the open water. Want to go sleeveless next year.

What would you do differently?:

started to sprint too early before exit... chest started to 'swell' and suit was getting uncomfortable.

Transition 1

03m 55s

Bike

1h 37m 13s
24.85 miles
15.34 mile/hr

Comments:

again, training is key over the winter.

What would you do differently?:

attack hills harder going up... need to feel comfortable in aero position so it would help with a headwind such as the one presented today

Transition 2

01m 55s

Run

1h 13m 24s
6.21 miles
11m 49s min/mile

Comments:

thighs started to cramp. Aerobically I was wound but body wasn't. strength conditioning needed.
