Pre-race routine:

Cuddled Trevor and occasionally Sara or a passing stranger to try and keep warm. No complaining though, it was MUCH nicer out than the last time I did this race.
Swim
  • 10m 1s
  • 500 meters
  • 02m / 100 meters
Comments:

This was a PB for me. The swim has always been my weakness… felt ok.
Loving my new goggles!
What would you do differently?:

More training. Need to make ALL of my sessions. I just need to get more confident.
Transition 1
  • 00m
What would you do differently?:

Don't worry about the sweater next time. Deal with the cool breeze. It got stuck on my wet arms and turned into a bit of a waste of time.

Turned out this decision may have been the difference between first woman across the line and me… difference was only 17 seconds.
Bike
  • 32m 19s
  • 15.4 kms
  • 28.59 km/hr
Comments:

Not my style course. I don't do corners as aggressively as I need to but this went well.
Considering the time includes both transitions I was happy with it.

I always wish the bike course was longer. Love it!
What would you do differently?:

Need to become even more agressive cornering. Think this is coming along but need more confidence, just like in the pool.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Run
  • 14m 20s
  • 3.15 kms
  • 04m 33s  min/km
Comments:

Not used to running on grass or sand. May have gone with a more grippy shoe than my kinvaras but did the best I could.

Was stunned my the amount of people walking.
What would you do differently?:

I was happy with this. Just need to learn to push harder...

I don't think the Garmin on multisports setting gives me a running pace every km... I will NEED that for my longer races. Going to have to figure that out.
Post race
Warm down:

Eating… fabulous food this year.
Watched the draw prizes. One year it will be my turn. Sara won something!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

As always, nerves and anxiety hold me back. It was the first race of the year… but now I sound like I'm making excuses.
