Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 4:30 and got a quick shower. Packed up the family and out the door by 5:15. Nothing like three giggling little girls to relax you for the race. It certainly was a nice father's day present.
Event warmup:

Stretched and swam about 200 yds

Comments:

Swim felt good. Nice and steady pace. Knocked 1:03 off the last race.
What would you do differently?:

Swim is improving more everyday but I probably could have pushed a little harder.
Transition 1
  • 01m 33s
Comments:

T1 was pretty smooth.
What would you do differently?:

Try to leave my shoes clipped on the bike and possibly try noy wearing socks. Putting on socks and shoes added at least 20 sec

Run is still a huge struggle.

Train harder on the run. Work on a more endurance.
Post race
Warm down:

Drank some water and hung out with the family. Got in the pond to cool down and swam about 100 yds.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My run is a huge negative for me right now.

Event comments:

This is a 5 race sries over the summer , so I can judge my progress during my first year of tris. I knocked 10:08 off my time from the first race on May 22. Looking foward to the next race on July 10.
