Pre-race routine:

There was no warming-up! Sat shivering for almost an hour on the beach at 55 degrees waiting to start.
Swim
  • 14m 6s
  • 587 yards
  • 02m 24s / 100 yards
Comments:

I didn't feel slow during the swim, but my time is slow so I don't know what happened. I think it is a combo of the course was long and the chop was higher than normal due to the wind. started in 6th of 8 waves
What would you do differently?:

real early in season, not enough OWS practice beforehand. wear the dang wetsuit! if for nothing else I would have been warm sitting on the beach waiting to start!
Transition 1
  • 04m 45s
Comments:

As usual, the big hill was a killer. Ran it as best I could.
What would you do differently?:

i guess the hill ain't moving, so i better learn how to run hills faster.
Bike
  • 1h 05m
  • 18 miles
  • 16.62 mile/hr
Comments:

felt strong, passed hundreds. only passed by 5-6 ladies. only obstacles to improvement were the numbers of people (and cars at times) I had to pass. Up some of the hills they would be 4 wide with ladies in various stages of slowing down or walking. Starting in the back of a heavy beginner friencly race sucks!
What would you do differently?:

nothing, 2 minutes faster bike than last year.
Transition 2
  • 01m 52s
Comments:

ran all the way thru the huge transition area, gloves off fairly easily for once.
Run
  • 26m 40s
  • 3 miles
  • 08m 53s  min/mile
Comments:

good run for me. felt like I still had plenty of energy after getting off the bike. was able to run much faster than i did last year. 2 minutes faster run than last year.
What would you do differently?:

nothing
Post race
Warm down:

walked around, ate, waited forever to get my bike out of transition.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My goal was 1:49, did 1:52. Bike and run was faster than last year. Missed goal solely due to slow swim. Need to work on swim!
