Pre-race routine:

Enjoyed the late start (9:00) and sleeping in until 6:00 on a race morning. Left the house around 7:00 with my 9YO daughter so I had a helper to set up transition and then a cheerleader during the race.
Event warmup:

None
Swim
  • 05m 19s
  • 300 yards
  • 01m 46s / 100 yards
Comments:

Pushed it pretty good and passed two people, so thought I'd be closer to 1:30/100 pace. Guess the 50M pool w/o as many pushoffs makes a difference. That, and not sure where the mat was to stop the swim time and start the T1 time.
Transition 1

Comments:

Should be in the 20-21mph range on a 15 mile course, so slightly disappointed, but to be expected with my focus on running this past year.
What would you do differently?:

More miles in the saddle
Transition 2
  • 01m 17s
Run
  • 23m 4s
  • 3.1 miles

Comments:

Didn't feel like 7:30/miles because I was struggling a bit. Was pleasantly surprised (unless, of course, the run course was shorter than advertised).
