Pre-race routine:

Same as always. Up at 5:00. Walk the dog. Eat a date bar and start sipping G2. Headed out to the race about 6:15 and had a english muffin with peanut butter when we got there. Wait for swim start time.
Event warmup:

None

Comments:

Masters session is working. I was out of the pool at 5:40 so pretty good for me especially compared to all my other races.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing besides keep working in masters.
Transition 1
  • 01m 59s
Comments:

Since I pushed the swim I was still trying to catch some breath so I wasn't flying on the run from the pool to my rack. Tried to keep things moving the whole time but I need to get smoother. We sockless for the first time so that helped take off 40 seconds.
What would you do differently?:

Might need to start practicing with my shoes already clipped in and see how much time I can shave.
Bike
  • 36m 12s
  • 12.43 miles
  • 20.60 mile/hr
Comments:

I pushed it pretty good the entire time. My lungs were still burning when I finished (and they stayed that way the entire race). I way about 4 minutes faster than last year and my training hasn't been that great this year so I was pleased with the results.
What would you do differently?:

Ride more.
Transition 2
  • 01m 16s
Comments:

Nothing too exciting here. I'm sure I can cut some seconds out here and there but I'm okay with the results.
What would you do differently?:

Put on number belt while running. Get out of shoes on the bike.
Run
  • 23m 34s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 35s  min/mile
Comments:

I pushed the pace about as much as I felt comfortable doing. I might have had more in me but my chest was feeling it so I didn't want to blow up on the final hill that is absolutely brutal. My best run in a race by far and I was very pleased to go sub 24.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. I split 7:44, 7:29, 7:41.
Post race
Warm down:

None. I think I'm going to go for a ride now to get some more miles in my legs this weekend.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training volume.

Event comments:

This was my first race 3 years ago. I beat my first time by 20 minutes today. I beat last year by 11 minutes.
