Pre-race routine:

Got up and stressed about weather, ate a pb & gluten-free roll, packed up and headed to the race site

Event warmup:

rode my bike over to transition. No other warm up

Swim

05m 18s
328 yards
01m 37s / 100 yards

Comments:

Put in a too slow swim time, so decided to just take it easy and focus on my half IM pace for the swim. Wasn't worth the 20 - 30 sec. to have to worry about passing people etc. Good pace for the half. Felt fresh coming out of the pool

What would you do differently?:

Put in the right swim time!

Transition 1

01m 53s

Comments:

It's all a blur. Felt really slow and cold, cold cold.

Bike

56m 45s
15.53 miles
16.42 mile/hr

Comments:

The wind and hard rain made it just a survival ride. Dogs out on the course chasing me, potholes rain, wind. It was rough. Survived and nocked a min. & half off last year's ride.

What would you do differently?:

Control over the weather?!

Transition 2

02m 7s

Comments:

So cold, hard to move. Couldn't get my bike on rack, couldn't get shoes on wet feet.

What would you do differently?:

Again, control over weather, dry feet & warmth!

Run

26m 22s
3.11 miles
08m 29s min/mile

Comments:

So cold, couldn't feel feet, hands or legs. Pushed it as hard as I could but was just cold and hurting. 1.5 min. slower than goal pace but once again, I finished and the weather was so bad so that was the victory!!

Post race

Warm down:

No warm down, just tried to stay warm and somewhat dry in the downpours

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Cold & wet

Event comments:

Even in the downpour there were more volunteers for this race than any other race I've done. When the weather is nice it is an amazing race, really fun & supportive!
