White Lake, North Carolina
United States
Set Up Events
68F / 20C
Overcast

Total Time = 8h 00m
Overall Rank = 102/214
Age Group = Master Novice
Age Group Rank = 2/11

Pre-race routine:

Got about 5 hours of sleep, with a wide-awake 1.5 hours from 1:45 to 3:15a. Ate two pieces of toast with butter and peanut butter, plus a Sugar Free Red Bull. Got to the transition area to set up about two hours before my wave was due to start.

Event warmup:

For a 8:53a start, was in the water at 8:15a, started swimming at about 8:30a.

Swim

18m 59s
820 yards
02m 19s / 100 yards

Comments:

started wide with a sculling start (we were in water up to our chest) and was able to safely work around a number of people. Finally got to the inside line about 150 meters in. needed to stop for a couple of strokes to avoid two drafters that were too far away from the swim line. The last 600 meters were really good.

What would you do differently?:

start on the inside line instead of further out

Transition 1

02m 40s

Comments:

I have not practiced with my shoes on the bike.

What would you do differently?:

Take time to wipe off feet of grass and dirt.

Bike

46m 44s
14.5 miles
18.62 mile/hr

Comments:

The course is wonderfully flat, so I was able to keep my cadence strong and really get a strong mph. Passed quite a few people.

What would you do differently?:

I was a little nervous on the turns and messed up the first loop.

Transition 2

01m 38s

Comments:

I can't ride on top of my shoes yet, nor jump off a moving bike.

What would you do differently?:

I screwed up re-racking my bike - was I supposed to or not?

Run

28m 22s
3.11 miles
09m 07s min/mile

Comments:

lots of walk breaks the first mile. Didn't feel strong at all until mile 3. But there is no way that course was 3.1 miles - I just didn't feel I was running that fast.

What would you do differently?:

My Garmin was set to biking so it was useless to me. I would start a little slower so that I wouldn't need so many walk breaks.
