Pre-race routine:

Got up around 4:30. Searched the hotel for that elusive cup of coffee to get me moving and had a heck of a time finding any. Started running a little behind but got caught up. Breakfast consisted of oatmeal, flax seed, and some almonds.
Event warmup:

Got to the event and got everything set up. There was a huge line for the bathrooms because they only had 4 units for everyone to use. Had to do an abbreviated warmup. They did the start in waves.

Felt good overall and it was my fastest run for a multisport event I've done.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. Breathing was decent.
Transition 1
  • 01m 9s
Comments:

Didn't practice transitions yet this year and it showed. IT was hard getting into shoes on the fly.
What would you do differently?:

Practice, practice, practice

  • 21 miles
  • 20.31 mile/hr
Comments:

This was what I thought would be my strong segment and it wasn't. I planned on a 21MPH avg but couldn't. My new water bottle setup didn't work and as a result I didn't have much to drink. I also lowered my seat about an inch at the suggestion of others after showing my fit online. It turned out to be a mistake. Seemed like the entire course was a headwind.
What would you do differently?:

Not change things before race. I broke the cardinal rule.
Transition 2
  • 01m 13s
Comments:

Decent T2, could have been faster.
What would you do differently?:

practice
Run
  • 17h 08m 2s
  • 2 miles
  • 8h 34m 04s  min/mile
Comments:

Due to pushing too hard on the bike I knew I would struggle on the run. My quads were tight and sore. Felt the lactic acid building in legs as the run progressed.
What would you do differently?:

Not burn out on the bike.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and waiting for my wife to come in from the bike.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not enough preparation work, changing things on the bike before the race.

Event comments:

Good overall event. Well ran, lots of volunteers and ran smoothly. Could have used more porta potties and drink stations. Roads were horrible, rough with potholes on about 1/3rd or so of the course.

Starting Off At The Deep End

After doing duathlons for the last couple of years, I decided to go for a triathlon. Starting with an Olympic-distance race perhaps wasn't wise, but it was fun (of a sort).

Is it possible for loners to work in a small group and still have plenty of time on their own? Training in small groups can give many benefits.

My first duathlon was a success. I had so many fears before the race but none of those fears happened. And when it was all over, I felt I had accomplished something big.

"I was wondering if this is a sensible approach? Should I get "better" on short distance and then move to something longer or do what I want if I feel I can do it whatever the time?"
