Overall Rank = 117/173
Age Group = 25-29F
Age Group Rank = 9/18

Pre-race routine:

woke up at 7, had breakfast (1/ grapefruit, bagle with cream cheese and water) packed the car and headed to the race site.

Event warmup:

did a short run, thought about getting into the water but it was soooo bloody windy and cold that I opted not to do a swim warm up.

Swim

10m 33s
500 meters
02m 07s / 100 meters

Comments:

good swim overall, pretty much what I estimated my time would be. Could have gone harder.

What would you do differently?:

Put myself closer to the front of the wave and have more confidence in my swimming abilities. I was having to make up a lot of time by swimming through some of the weaker swimmers.

Transition 1

01m 37s

Comments:

had to put on a lot of clothing, but everything went smoothly. My bf yelled out "good transition" and I just shook my head and carried on getting geared up. Was super nice to hear his voice though, and gave me a bit of comic releif.

What would you do differently?:

not have to put on shorts and a shirt... invest in a tri suit.

Bike

42m 28s
18 kms
25.43 km/hr

Comments:

I need to ride my bike more. A lot more. I got passed by so many people. I found the course very challenging and I was feeling pretty down after the first 5-10km. It was intimidating.

What would you do differently?:

train more.

Transition 2

00m 33s

Comments:

no comment

What would you do differently?:

nothing, it was good.

Run

26m 28s
4 kms
06m 37s min/km

Comments:

slow and steady. started out kinda fast, my HR went way way up so I slowed down got to a pace that I could hold for the distance and just had a good run. My younger sister was at the 2km point and it was a nice surprise to have a chat with her as I went past.

What would you do differently?:

more training.

Post race

Warm down:

walked around a little, had a few cups of water, little photo shoot with my supportive fans (family that I dragged along) got in line for my free food, walked backto the car, packed up and went out for lunch.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

poor bike and run training.
