Pre-race routine:

Drove the my brother's house on Saturday night after the kids were in bed since he lives 5 miles from the race course. Woke up at 5:30 and got moving. Hit the fake WaWa on Route 9 for coffee and a granola bar on the way to the race. It was pitch black and blowing about 25 MPH when I arrived...I knew it would be an interesting day.

Event warmup:

Just set up transition and get into my wetsuit.

Swim

12m 53s
536 meters

Transition 1

03m 34s

Comments:

Tried to get my HR down after the tough swim. Saw my brother and 2 nephews so I chatted with them as I got the wetsuit off and my bike shirt on. Took it pretty slow.

Bike

44m 1s
10 miles
13.63 mile/hr

Comments:

Bike was tough as the wind was mostly a headwind for the 'out' portion. I just tried to take it slow and stay aero as much as possible. The way back was nice with the tailwind.

Transition 2

01m 35s

Run

34m 20s
3.05 miles
11m 16s min/mile

Comments:

My goal was to run the entire way with no walking. Just kept a nice easy pace and maintained it throughout.

Warm down:

Packed up

What limited your ability to perform faster:

This was my first race in two years. Just need to get back to training consistently. Considering my lack of training volume and crazy schedule I was happy with the results.

Event comments:

Great to sneak in a race before the end of the season. It was nice to race on a course where I spent so my time as a kid. The Barnegat Bay is a truly beautiful location. Great having my brother and nephews there for support. Feels good to get back into racing.
