Pre-race routine:

Only got in a 5 minute swim warm-up, tried to get the blood flowing and heart pumping but didn't get as warmed up as I would have liked.

Comments:

Always feels out of breath the entire way, really don't like the swim portion. Especially in a sprint where it's go hard hard hard the whole time...but at least it's over quickly.
Transition 1

Comments:

Good transition but I take too long to get on the bike.

Comments:

Felt like I pushed as much as I could have, though I should have been able to go faster. It's possible that the 4 hour bike the day before fatigued my legs more than I realized. Happy with the bike, gave it all I had.
Transition 2
  • 00m 42s
Comments:

Fast transition
What would you do differently?:

Didn't get my feet out of my shoes in time, a lot of turns at the very end after a downhill bridge, felt like I didn't have time.

Felt like I was doing all I could, but should be able to go a little faster.
Post race
Warm down:

Nothing specific

What limited your ability to perform faster:

4 hour bike ride with 30 minute brick run the day before--probably fatigued legs more than I realize.

Event comments:

Well-run race, unique course. However, there could have been a few more volunteers directing racers at the beginning and end of bike and run (near the bridge, both sides), because it got confusing trying to figure out where to go, which side to stay on, etc., with people coming both directions.

Overall: 0/
Performance:
Suit: Orca tri race suit
Course: Strange course in intracoastal. Out a short distance and right turn at a buoy, then a long distance against the current to the next buoy. U-turn there and back towards a third buoy where a left turn was made to head to shore. Seemed weird but turned out okay. Only problem was the exit was squishy sand and slimy sea grass over hard rock, made the exit very difficult.
