Pre-race routine:

Nothing special. Normal breakfast.

Swimming remains as my achilles heel. I have to really work on this. Fortunately I am going to begin a masters class soon.

What would you do differently?:

More time in the pool. More training and lessons.

Transition 1

01m 34s

Comments:

T1 was really smooth. No issues. Was able to get into bike shoes easily.

What would you do differently?:

Need to get a tri top so I can eliminate having to put on a shirt before the bike.

Bike

43m 10s
14 miles
19.46 mile/hr

Comments:

The bike ride was really good. I just need to spend more time working on speed work. I have not picked up any time from last year.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing that I can think of. Need to work on getting new bike.

Transition 2

01m 12s

Comments:

Need to work on dismount from bike. Had some cramping issues but overall very happy.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing I can think of.

Run

22m 8s
3.1 miles
07m 08s min/mile

Comments:

Despite the cramping at the start, overall a good run. Probably held too much back. Still had plenty in the tank at the end.

What would you do differently?:

Run harder from the start.

Post race

Warm down:

2 bottles of water and short walk. Stretching.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I am sure that my lack of swim training and commitment to improving the swim didn't help. Also need to work on bike intervals to increase my speed there. I probably could use some spinning classes.

Event comments:

I will definitely compete here again. The timing service and the volunteers all were exceptional. Really enjoyed the race and post race festivities.
