Pre-race routine:

Up at 5:00 AM and ate a clif bar, banana and Gatorade. Out the door at 6:00 and arrived at Deer Creek at 7:00. Didn't get to the venue in time to get the end rack spot. Took a gel and small amount of Gatorade during the national anthem.
Event warmup:

5 minute jog 45 minutes before the scheduled start.
Run
  • 21m 31s
  • 3.11 miles

Comments:

The course is flat and fast. Faded slightly over the course of the run because I went out pretty fast.
Transition 1
  • 00m 56s
Comments:

Smooth transition.
What would you do differently?:

Only thing to possibly change would be learning to leave the bike shoes attached to the bike and execute a flying mount.

Comments:

I'm used to more traffic on the bike course. Duathletes were sent off first and the top 3 elite sprint triathlon athletes didn't catch me on the bike until the last couple of miles. Happy with my progress as I was a minute faster than earlier this year on the same course.
What would you do differently?:

Need to continue working on hill intervals.
Transition 2
  • 00m 48s
Comments:

Transition went very smooth.
What would you do differently?:

Need to learn to dismount with my shoes still connected to the pedals.
Run
  • 24m 34s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 54s  min/mile
Comments:

My back was stiff coming off of the bike. Passed an age group competitor just after the 1 mile mark. Got stronger as the run went on and closed in a sprint holding off the guy I passed by 4 seconds to take 2nd in my age group.
What would you do differently?:

My HR data shows that i could have pushed the run harder. I feel like I could have gone at least 1 minute faster.
