Wake up at 5:15, drank a Starbucks double espresso. Yum. Drove to event at 6 am.

I tried to watch my hr monitor and ignore the speedy runners (it is really hard not to chase those fast people)

Comments:

I was very happy with my biking effort. I pushed hard at times, but had a blast reeling in bikers with better run times and earlier waves.

  • 01m 18s
Run
  • 26m 39s
  • 3.2 miles
  • 08m 20s  min/mile
What would you do differently?:

I was holding my heart under 165. I probably can let it fly a bit with 2 miles to go.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around. Ate a piece of pizza and drank a soda.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I performed better than I ever had before today. So, I can only assume that more of the Pigg / Maffetone program will do the trick.

Event comments:

All of the rain caused the swim to be cancelled. What can you do? I had a good time anyway, and had a really good race.

Great race. How did you keep your heart rate down after drinking that Starbucks? I am afraid to drink coffee before a race because of the bathroom effects.
