Sunny

Total Time = 1h 02m 10s
Overall Rank = 49/191
Age Group = M 45-49
Age Group Rank = 6/15

Pre-race routine:

Standard stuff. Breakfast at 3:00 AM, got to race at 5:45 to volunteer for stuff. Got set up. They changed out the bike racks this year. Supposedly four per rack but that didn't work out so well. I found a Felt B14 that looked lonely so I racked beside it and the two Felts could talk about bike stuff.

Event warmup:

None.

Swim

07m 40s
425 yards
01m 48s / 100 yards

Comments:

I was kinda happy with this swim. I started out with a comfortable pace and just kept that up the whole swim. I didn't get gassed, didn't get dizzy and passed a couple people

What would you do differently?:

Nothing. I liked it.

Transition 1

01m 30s

Comments:

Went without a hitch. Dropped 20 seconds off last year's time and I have no clue how.

Bike

28m 56s
11.2 miles
23.23 mile/hr

Comments:

They broke the time trial start into three segments with 5 minute pauses between the segments. The bike course was never crowded. I passed two people at once only a couple times and I don't believe I ever passed three at once.

I LIKE this course. Could have pushed a bit harder but I'm happy with how it went.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing. I was out there to have a good time today.

Transition 2

01m 40s

Comments:

Dropped 20 seconds off this transition as well. Again, no idea where. I wore socks again and still ended up with less than two minutes in T2. I'll take it.

Run

22m 26s
2.6 miles
08m 38s min/mile

Comments:

Wow. Just wow. 8:40 minute miles?? ME?? I don't think so. I'd buy 9:15 or so. Oh well, I'll take it.

I had a blast. Was singing Put the Lime in the Coconut most of the way. It was a good run.

Event comments:

This race is a GREAT little race and is put on by people who care about getting beginners into the sport. I did roughly this same race a couple years ago as my first race and came in literally at the 50% mark of the overall.

Ina puts on a GOOD race! :)
