Pre-race routine:

So this was a mini sprint, but I'm adding it just so I can keep record of all my performances. This wasn't timed, so I'm going off my watch and my splits when I pressed the button on the watch.
Event warmup:

Pepto bismol and banana and greek yogurt.

Comments:

I suck at swimming. Water was freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezing cold too. No wetsuit.
What would you do differently?:

Work on breathing. I'm probably gonna hire a coach

Comments:

I was in first place by mile 2 and held that spot til mile 5 until someone else passed me. Got passed at mile 10 but I passed that guy and finished 2nd off the bike. I was only about 20 sec behind the 1st place guy the entire time. I held my spot. My legs were too sore to pass the 1st place guy, but I knew I had it in me.
What would you do differently?:

Less use of legs while swimming.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Somehow I got all the energy in my legs back. Barefoot into running shoes. Great dismount. Last 1/4 mi I took feet out of shoes.

  • 1.5 miles
  • 05m 05s  min/mile
Comments:

Fast fast fast. Only 1.5mi so I basically sprinted the whole way.
What would you do differently?:

Went well. Brought a water bottle with me cause it was just so damn hot. Probably could have ditched it.
Post race
Warm down:

Group meal at a pancake restaraunt

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Legs sore from swimming. I need to improve on my swimming.
