Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 3am and ate some food to be ready for race at 6:45. Drove with Rachel to Lake Milton state partk, got 2 dogs out, got ready to go, as I was down waiting by the lake waiting for swim to start. 1 of our dogs saw another dog and tried to get it, pulled my wife over (who was 7 months pregnant) attacked the other dog whos owner who was older, he fell down. It was a huge Physchological hit to what I was about to do. I told Rachel that we could just go, she was soo upset.
Event warmup:

very little.

Comments:

Being my first Tri I had no idea how to gauge how long 1 mile looks like in a lake, Announcer gets on and says do you see the buoys way down there? Sprint you go down and back, Oly you make 2 loops, my heart sank, It looked like 5 miles. I knew right then that I was not prepared at all for the swim
What would you do differently?:

swim more at the Rec Center, possibly take lessons
Transition 1
  • 02m 41s
Comments:

Ok so my first transition, I wear socks, sorry I dont really know if I want to try wearing my bike shoes without socks. I don't feel like I took too long in T1, although I was not wearing a wetsuit. probably can be faster at this

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My lack of swim training. The fact I kept looking over to make sure my wife was ok.
