Pre-race routine:

Ate my normal pre-race smoothy and zone bar. 45 minutes to race time I had a gel and lots of water.
Event warmup:

Not much. Mulled around chatted with the fellas.
Swim
  • 08m 15s
  • 400 meters
  • 02m 04s / 100 meters
Comments:

I set my goal for the swim at 8:00 to 8:15. Hit the 8:15 mark. My swim was strong for this level of training. Felt good coming out of the pool.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. I hit my race objectives pretty much dead on.
Transition 1
  • 02m
Comments:

I had problems with my shoes. Not a big deal but I need to work on this.
What would you do differently?:

Practice transition a bit more.
Bike

  • 18.85 mile/hr
Comments:

This course was short and I barely had time to settle into a rhythm before it was done. I rode faster than my goal of 18 mph. I didn't drink enough because I usually forget to until later in the ride...there was no "later in the ride."
What would you do differently?:

Drink more.
Transition 2
  • 01m 36s
Comments:

This was a good transition for me. It could have been a little faster but I felt good about it.
What would you do differently?:

Practice more transition on my brick days.
Run
  • 29m 31s
  • 3.2 miles
  • 09m 13s  min/mile
Comments:

I set a goal of 10 min/mi for the run and thought it was unrealistic. I actually ran 9.5 min/mi. I was very happy about that. A goal I set for myself early in the season was to run a 5k in less than 30 min. I thought I'd do that as a run only not in a Triathlon. I almost stepped on my jaw because I couldn't believe my 1.6 mi split time.


What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Post race
Warm down:

Yeah right.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My goal was to hit the 1 hour mark for total time. I ran a 1 hour 30sec total time. There was no way I could have raced faster than what I did. I was proud to set up a training plan and set realistic goals for myself and hit them. I ran this race last year and knocked off 15 minutes wich was about 25%.

Event comments:

The only complaint I had with the race orginization was that there was not enough water provided on the run. The only place to get it was on the turn around. I was dehydrated long before that.
