Pre-race routine:

This was a very hectic morning due to some family issues. I really appreciated that Set Up did not close transition so I was able to take my time and make sure I hadn't forgotten anything.
Event warmup:

10 minute jog

  • 500 yards
  • 01m / 100 yards
What would you do differently?:

WHen I get tired my form suffers and I was rotating too far to the right to breath I think. My left side started aching about half way through. I need to get more comfortable brething to my left so I can alternate

So many things. It was cool, but I probably didn't need the socks.

Legs felt good. If this really was a 5k it was the fastest one I've done in a while.
What would you do differently?:

Have a definite pace in mind and try to stick to it.
Post race
Warm down:

Wandering around.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Early in the season. Terrible T1 performance.

Event comments:

For a pool swim race, it was enjoyable. Nice way to start the season. Good parking. THe construction zone in the middle of the run was really a bummer, but that was a little out of the organizer's control.
