Beaufort, South Carolina
United States
Go Tri Sports
75F / 24C
Sunny

Total Time = 1h 05m 34s
Overall Rank = 74/284
Age Group = 45-49
Age Group Rank = 11/

Pre-race routine:

Early wake up and stretched for 20 min. Can feel left hammy but it's ok.
Breakfast.

Event warmup:

Rode for about 4 miles, ran about two miles and swam 10 minutes. Had a hammer gel and got ready to start.
Garmin was out of battery, kind of freak out a bit,

Swim

09m 29s
547 yards
01m 44s / 100 yards

Comments:

It was a tune-up race and everything, but I should have made a better effort.

What would you do differently?:

Just go for it, it's a bloody sprint!!!

Transition 1

01m 20s

Comments:

Lost my place in transition

What would you do differently?:

Mark some how my rack to make it easy to recognize and find

Bike

30m 2s
10 miles
19.98 mile/hr

Comments:

Keeping high cadence. Not having HR (as I always do) was weird. Good effort

What would you do differently?:

Always bring a back up HR monitor. I've been training and racing for too long with this tool and it's the way to manage the engine.

Transition 2

01m 7s

Comments:

Again had trouble finding rack.

Run

23m 36s
3.11 miles
07m 35s min/mile

Comments:

Felt good. Since having taken it easy on the swim and bike, preserved some energy for the run. Keeping always that hamstring in my mind might held me back a bit.

Post race

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Injured hammy and lack of HR monitor.
Overall, I didn't have the motivation to hammer this race. I'm still very glad I did it to start getting things in sync also accumulated some valuable experiences

Event comments:

Great venue and atmosphere. I'll come back if I can.
