Pre-race routine:

Granola bar and banana for breakfast. Took bus to park and ate some peanut butter crackers.

Underwater cable to mark course so sighting was not a problem.

Swim a little harder.

Really sloppy

  • 18.21 mile/hr
Comments:

Had to use porti-potty. After than the ride felt good. I was passing a lot of people and pedaling downhill (free speed).
What would you do differently?:

Need better bike handling skills in traffic (safety issue).
Transition 2
  • 02m 13s
Comments:

Didn't try anything fancy - just unclipped and ran in my bike shoes to transition.
What would you do differently?:

Little faster getting shoes off. Better organized (had trouble finding number).
Run
  • 1h 02m 38s
  • 10 kms
  • 06m 16s  min/km
Comments:

Needed to use porti-potty again (drinking too much?). Did 4/1 run/walk for the first couple miles and gradually increased the running until I only walked the aid stations. Put ice in my cap to stay cool. It felt good.
What would you do differently?:

Run more and walk less. I wasn't quit as fragile as I feared.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked a while. Refueled with bananas, oranges, and a protein drink.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Technique (swim), fitness and durability (run). Also a poorly organized transition area.

Event comments:

I loved the water, the courses, the atmosphere, and the volunteers. I would definitely do this race again!

My First Olympic Triathlon

I looked at the swim buoys and start thinking, "Man! How am I ever going to swim that? That looks like a very long distance from the bridge. I have never done it in one go." There's no turning back.

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).
