Pre-race routine:

Ended up getting there late after getting stuck in Traffic due to an accident. Thought I may just end up a spectator. But I made it, registered (#82) then set up my transition area.

Event warmup:

Quick dip in the lake and some stretching, not ideal, but not much time.

Swim

08m 30s
400 yards
02m 07s / 100 yards

Comments:

The start was a bit hectic, but I got in a good rhythm and once I was headed back in was able to push it a little.

What would you do differently?:

Try and not kicked quite so many times. :)

Transition 1

01m 41s

Comments:

Felt like my head was still swimming in T1 and thought I was going extremely slow, but I am happy with that time.

What would you do differently?:

Either wear a top that I can swim in, or forget the shirt altogether.

Bike

36m 24s
11 miles
18.13 mile/hr

Comments:

Felt good on the bike, passed quite a few (this is my stongest segment), nice course with not much traffic.

What would you do differently?:

Drink more, it was humid and needed to drink more.

Transition 2

Comments:

Completely forgot to hit the watch as I entered T2, therefor a time would be a guess, but it was quick. The Yankz were a godsend, just pull the shoes on a go.

What would you do differently?:

Drink..

Run

27m 20s
3.1 miles
08m 49s min/mile

Comments:

Had to walk a little at the beginning of the course, due to the hills and starting a little to quickly. But I got into a rhythm and the rest of the run was good.

What would you do differently?:

Start a little slower, lose the shirt.

Post race

Warm down:

Swim the in lake to cool down and drink H2O

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Humidity didn't help, just getting smoother for the transitions.

Event comments:

This is a great race, low key and laid back, great for beginners and elites alike. I will definitely be back next year.
