Sunny

Overall Rank = 144/840
Age Group = M45-49
Age Group Rank = 9/50

Pre-race routine:

Got up and ate breakfast at the Comfort inn in Sturgeon Bay. Bagle with pnut butter and grabbed a banana to go. Loaded bike and headed out around 0605.

Event warmup:

Biked over to the park from the far end of the parking area to warm up my legs a bit. Got chip and body marking. Set up transition and walked through T1 and T2. Got wetsuit on and swam a little. Water was around 70deg and felt good. Found Karen and the Martens and waited for my wave to start.

Swim

08m 4s
402 meters
01s / 100 meters

Comments:

Good swim but not great.Probably would have been a little slower without the wetsuit.

What would you do differently?:

Practice with wetsuit

Transition 1

01m 51s

Comments:

Used wetsuit strippers to get the suit off my legs since I had never taken it off before. TriGlide worked well. Probably could have just taken it off myself faster.

What would you do differently?:

Practice T1.

Bike

54m 11s
18 miles
19.93 mile/hr

Comments:

Biking still seems to be my weakest area. I almost broke 20mph which is good for me but the course is pretty flat.

Transition 2

00m 57s

Comments:

Good T1 but I had a great rack position so that helped alot.

Run

24m 28s
3.1 miles
07m 53s min/mile

Comments:

Good run on a very flat course. Got a side stitch right at the half way point that slowed me down a little. It subsided a little and a couple of guys came by that I could pace with. Finished with a sprint against another competitor and won.

Post race

Warm down:

Had an Amberbock and a pork BBQ sandwich. delicious.

Event comments:

Very well run race. Beautiful venue. I stayed with friends in their bayside cottage for the next week and got to enjoy more swimming, biking, and running in Door County. I will be back if possible.
