Pre-race routine:

Up, small breakfast and pack up car. Went solo to this race so my wife could catch up on some sleep. We have a newborn.
Event warmup:

Usual, ride to make sure the bike is working properly, short run, but no swim as they were kicking people out of the water by the time I got down.
Swim

  • 440 yards

Comments:

Some people said they got beat up but I found myself pretty much solo. Went out hard to the first buoy then settled into a slower pace.
What would you do differently?:

Go harder. I probably could have kept the same pace that I had going to the first buoy for the entire swim.

We had to run straight up hill to the bike mount. Interesting!!!!

Comments:

I felt this was a very bad ride for me. I was hurting on the back half. I wasn't winded or in pain I just didn't have any speed.
What would you do differently?:

Need to get back to training harder.
Transition 2
  • 01m 9s
Comments:

Moved calmly and smoothly.
Run
  • 20m 49s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 06m 43s  min/mile
Comments:

Felt good on the run but my time doesn't show it. With about a mile to go I pushed the pace a bit and when I finished I wasn't gassed. Not good.
What would you do differently?:

Probably should have pushed the pace more for a longer period of time. Felt I could have been around 6 min. miles.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training. Newborn is killing my training time, but it's okay. He's worth it.

Event comments:

Great race. If the weather was a bit better it would have been really good. The course was different and I really liked it. Will go back next year.
