Pre-race routine:

Sushi dinner the night before. Breakfast consisted of PBnJ sandwiches followed by a banana 30 minutes before race start.
Event warmup:

Warmed up in the water.

  • 800 yards

Comments:

Much better than I had anticipated considering my issues controlling my breathing in past OWS events and training. Felt very comfortable for the entire swim.
What would you do differently?:

Need to work on sighting a bit more as there were a few times I used some breast stroke for a brief rest/sight.
Transition 1

Comments:

First event with a wet suit and still managed a decently T1.
What would you do differently?:

Wait until I get my arms out of wet suit before I take my cap/goggles off.

Comments:

Overall the bike went really well. Kept myself at a smooth and steady pace. I was expecting to get some sports drink at an aid station at the turn around point, however there was not an aid station!
What would you do differently?:

Bring my own fuel!
Transition 2
  • 01m 52s
Comments:

Very smooth T2, lessons learned from last year were applied.
Run
  • 34m 53s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 11m 15s  min/mile
Comments:

Due to my poor planning and not bringing fuel for the bike portion I felt drained on the run. This lead to some walking on the short uphill segments and was mentally defeating to a degree.
What would you do differently?:

Make sure I have my fuel and a better mental outlook!
Post race
Warm down:

Stretching legs and re-hydrating.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Energy levels on the run, both mentally and physically.
