Overcast

Total Time = 1h 23m 30s
Overall Rank = 43/2855
Age Group = 35-39
Age Group Rank = 11/470

Pre-race routine:

english muffin with peanut butter and oatmeal for breakfast; had a boost right before swim start (not a good idea!) Got to race start around 5:10, got into transition around 5:45. Got help pumping up back tire. Transition set up went fine. Not nervous at all.

Event warmup:

Went for a short swim/doggie paddle to get use to water. It didn't help.

Swim

17m 2s
800 meters
02m 08s / 100 meters

Comments:

Very hard time breathing, felt like I was gasping to get air. Lots of breast stroke. Forced myself to swim freestyle the last leg.

What would you do differently?:

Maybe start in the 1st or 2nd row. I started in 3rd or 4th row.

Transition 1

02m 55s

Comments:

Went pretty smooth.

What would you do differently?:

Left covers cleats so had problems getting clipped in...duh! Racked bike by handle bars instead of seat and didn't practice removing before race. Probably cost 20 seconds trying to get bike off of rack....grr.

Bike

38m 5s
12.2 miles
19.22 mile/hr

Comments:

Very happy with bike.

What would you do differently?:

Had some issues eatting fig newtons but worked out okay. Remove cleat covers before race start! Drink more on bike.

Transition 2

01m 5s

Comments:

Went fast and smooth.

Run

24m 21s
3.1 miles
07m 51s min/mile

Post race

Warm down:

iced below knee and hamstring on left leg; after 2 hrs got a 15 min massage

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Tired from 66 mile bike ride on Saturday. Left leg was numb below the knee, it didn't bother me at all during the race but then again maybe I just couldn't feel it! Left hip was tight.
