Total Time = 1h 41m 52s
Overall Rank = 91/
Age Group = 35-39
Age Group Rank = 1/

Pre-race routine:

Up by 2am and left the house at 5am, after having coffee and a granola bar.

Event warmup:

The walk to the start/transition was far enough to be a warm up. Hubby and I swam 50-100 yards in wetsuits, since we had never worn them before.

Swim

19m 52s
600 yards
03m 19s / 100 yards

Comments:

First time in OWS, and first time swimming in a wetsuit. Had a panic attack, and ended up not being able to put my face in the water. I swam the whole thing using side stroke, back stroke, and doggie paddle.

What would you do differently?:

Practice both OWS and swimming in a wetsuit. I just need more experience.

Transition 1

01m 58s

Comments:

I didn't realize that my T1 time ended and bike time started right out of transition, so I finished getting my shoes adjusted and rested for a minute outside of T1 with my bike. So really my T1 time was a bit longer than recorded and my bike time was shorter.

What would you do differently?:

A lot

Bike

54m
15 miles
16.67 mile/hr

Comments:

I felt pretty good on the bike. There were a lot of hills, but it wasn't too bad.

What would you do differently?:

Wait until I'm ready to ride before leaving transition.

Transition 2

01m 2s

Comments:

Went pretty well.

What would you do differently?:

Maybe get lock laces for running shoes.

Run

25m 2s
3.11 miles
08m 03s min/mile

Comments:

I felt like I had a pretty good run. Considering I had never done a brick workout, my legs took some time to get some feeling back.

What would you do differently?:

I need to do some brick workouts.

Post race

Warm down:

Just ate some cookies and drank some gatorade. I had to leave pretty early, and didn't think that I would place, (let alone win my age division) so I didn't stick around for the awards ceremony.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My panic attack in the water
