Age Group = 44-49
Age Group Rank = 10/11
Pre-race routine:

Breakfast 3 hours prior to start
Event warmup:

walking stretching then some short jogs, ..stretching etc, tried to have a sweat on
Run
  • 22m 17s
  • 2.5 miles
  • 08m 55s  min/mile
Comments:

Felt pretty good on this run. Some tightness or "rubbing" on my left T band-no issue
What would you do differently?:

dug a little deeper on the climb-faster
Transition 1
  • 00m 32s
Comments:

I had set my bike in transition but did not bother to set up the straps and tongue properly, although I jumped on ok, it took a bit longer to get in and tightened up
What would you do differently?:

Pay attention to details...
Bike
  • 57m 24s
  • 15 miles
  • 15.68 mile/hr
Comments:

I had a good ride though much slower than my original goal which was progressively lowered over the months. Looking back, I would probably had been better served with a slightly slower bike leg since my run-2 suffered so badly.
I took one Gu 3/4 way through the bike ride...coming out of T-2 I grabbed a warm gatorade from a volunteer-ended up with some stomach issues
What would you do differently?:

Ease up a bit..especially on the upwind leg
Transition 2
  • 00m 53s
Comments:

I'm not sure why my transition was so much slower except my wife said I didn't look "right". Once again I dug kind of deep on my bike leg wanting to be under 1 hours that transitioning to the second run was harder than I had expected-even given all the bricks I had done.
What would you do differently?:

Focus-go faster
Run
  • 28m 37s
  • 2.5 miles
  • 11m 27s  min/mile
Comments:

The stomach issues nagged me in run 2, gaseous and some pain. No IT band problems but definitely beat.
I dug in before rounding the corner for a final strong run into the finish (photographer there and wife). In retrospect-if I had any sprint left then I could probably have metered it out more consistently on the whole run for a better overall time.
What would you do differently?:

Dial in my nutrition plan better or skip the guy altogether on sprints.
I had never had issues with Gu before and that includes ultra cycling downing 1 after another
Post race
Warm down:

walk around, cool water-regain my composure

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Possibly 2 weeks off leading up to it. I need to work on my Time Trial/riding more.
