Pre-race routine:

I headed to NJ the on saturday and got a hotel room- which allowed for more sleep ;)

Event warmup:

I was in wave 10 of 11. Prior to setting up transition I went for a little ride. Once we got closer to the start I got in the water and did some swimming to warm up.

Swim

32m 10s
1640 yards
01m 58s / 100 yards

Comments:

I have not been in the pool much so I was not expecting a blazing fast swim....I got out and swam at a comfortable pace and worked hard on the way to swim exit

What would you do differently?:

no time swim training and push a little earlier

Transition 1

01m 36s

Comments:

Felt gret coming out of the water and was very focused through T1....now that I think about it I remember very little of T1

What would you do differently?:

nothing....well maybe learn fly mounts

Bike

1h 15m 14s
25.5 miles
20.34 mile/hr

Comments:

Since I was in a late wave the bike course was crowded which helped me stay focused and chase people. When people turned off and I started my second lap it was tougher to continue to work.

Transition 2

02m 9s

Comments:

Not sure why this was a little slow...as I felt I moved through T2

What would you do differently?:

moce through T2 with more urgency

Run

1h 02m 40s
6.2 miles
10m 07s min/mile

Comments:

I struggled through the run...as it was getting a little warm--tried to stay focused and keep my self moving...it was a run/walk approach

What would you do differently?:

lack of bricks lately

Post race

What limited your ability to perform faster:

my training has been inconsistent lately
