Pre-race routine:

Raining so waited to set up t area. Had bagel and some coffee around 5 and a Hammer gel 20 min before swim.

Comments:

Pretty large group of 100 took a while to thin out. I feel slow in the tri top. Lost some mental focus on form several times.

What would you do differently?:

Lose the top and concentrate.

Transition 1

01m 24s

Comments:

Crowded mount line due to narrow size and people stopping to mount. Ran past several people to find space to jump on.

Bike

1h 24m 40s
27.1 miles
19.20 mile/hr

Comments:

Could have gone a little faster but tried to hold back a little to have a stronger run. Some wet corners were a little concerning too.

My Perpetuum did not sit well and wish I had just taken water. The water hand off station at mile 14 was pretty weak and didn't see the one woman with one bottle when I passed. Dang.

What would you do differently?:

Stick with water on this distance

Nice that they gave out sponges as the temp was up to 75-80 by then.

Event comments:

Good local race. Didn't do as well in my age group as last year's race since the number increased from 4 to 15 guys from all over NC. Guess its become pretty popular in year 2.
