Overcast

Total Time = 2h 33m 28s
Overall Rank = 149/620
Age Group = 25-29
Age Group Rank = 17/38

Pre-race routine:

Twas the night before a dreary day... not a good night sleep b/c I had to get up at 3:30 and get ready to leave at 4 AM with George at the wheel. I ate my customary fig newton and drank a gatorade two hours prior to race start.

Event warmup:

It was quite cold outside so i could not really warm up as I usually do. jogged ~ 1 mile.

Swim

31m 37s
1640 yards
01m 56s / 100 yards

Comments:

a bad start indeed. just didn't feel ready for the swim and the weather kind of threw me off a bit.

What would you do differently?:

train more for the last three weeks of training.

Transition 1

03m 3s

Comments:

quite slow in T1 as I really felt like I needed a minute to recover.

What would you do differently?:

be more prepared for cold weather racing.

Bike

1h 11m 30s
24.85 miles
20.85 mile/hr

Comments:

I felt like it took forever for my legs to warm up enough to keep a decent speed and cadence. At ten miles into the bike, my legs still felt shaky and weak.

Transition 2

01m 2s

Comments:

decent speed through this transition.

Run

46m 18s
6.21 miles
07m 28s min/mile

Comments:

I was just a bit burned out for the run leg. My only real motivation was that I was tired of the crappy weather and ready to get the race over with. I had a 7 minute pace in me on a flat course, but the lack of hill training was noticeable. I had to slow up a lot toward the end b/c i was feeling like i was going to lose my stomach.

What would you do differently?:

increase my run training amount, even if at a much slower pace.

Post race

Warm down:

limited stretching and some food. OK, one cold beer.

Event comments:

a very good race, but just not my kind of tri weather. i like it a bit warmer.
