Age Group Rank = 23/27

Pre-race routine:

Load bike in car. Drive to site using "shortcut" even though I've never been to the site before and rarely get out that way.

Very light breakfast. Coffee, banana, I know I ate more, but can't remember what.

Oogle the fancy bikes.

Event warmup:

Stretched a few minutes. Got in the water and swam 100 yards.

Swim

12m 56s
600 yards
02m 10s / 100 yards

Transition 1

04m 18s

Comments:

Walk up the trail from the beach to the bike. No wetsuit so no difficulty removing it. Dried off feet, put on socks and running shoes and a T-shirt.

Bike

42m 40s
11.5 miles
16.17 mile/hr

Comments:

I was riding my mountain bike (there were a few of us not on road bikes), so I wasn't too disappointed with my ride. I was ready for the ride to be over 3-4 miles before it was.

Tried to be diligent about using lower gears and higher cadence.

What would you do differently?:

Now have a road bike :-)

Transition 2

01m 7s

Comments:

No hurry, my legs were stiff.

Run

21m 13s
2.25 miles
09m 26s min/mile

Comments:

Um..."Run" was optimistic. Jogged some, walked up a couple of hills and for a minute near the end.

Race started at 9, so by now, the sun is out and it is getting very warm.

What would you do differently?:

More bricks during training.

Post race

Warm down:

Walk around, stretch, about 15 minutes. Drink water, drink water, drink water.

Event comments:

It was a good introduction to the sport. Not too crowded for the swim and very supportive volunteers and participants.
