Pre-race routine:

Had a bowl of oatmeal and a banana for breakfast. Usually hit the restroom a couple of times the morning of a race, but today only once. Must be why I was slow on the bike. HA!
Event warmup:

Ran about a 1/4 mile and swam 1000.

Had a rough time going under lane lines. Wound up having to stop and duck under one on the second lap. Took me out of my rhythm.

Comments:

Felt like I was really pushing the bike and my HR was between 155-162 the entire way, but I was still slower than I thought I would be. Have to remember what it's like to go fast again.
What would you do differently?:

Going to do more speedwork this winter.
Transition 2
  • 00m 40s
Comments:

Feet were a bit frozen which always makes it tough to get shoes on.
Run
  • 17m 56s
  • 3 miles
  • 05m 59s  min/mile
Comments:

Never felt strong the entire run. Knew the guy I was chasing started just before me in the pool so I tried to stay with him. Kept him in sight the entire run, but wasn't able to catch him. Wound up 9 seconds behind him in the overall. Still a solid pace even though I didn't feel my best.
What would you do differently?:

Take it a bit easier the first 1/2 mile.
Post race
Warm down:

Ran about a mile while cheering my wife on to the finish. She managed to get 3rd place in her AG!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

All the Ironman training I did this summer. Need to do some more speed work.
