Pre-race routine:

Walked around and spoke with a few people. Had a bagel with peanut butter at home and had a GU about 15 minutes prior to the start of the tri. Set up my transition area.
Event warmup:

I swam 100 meters in the pool, which felt like the ocean since I have only trained in a pool that is 40 feet. It was weird to swim in the 50 meter, 10 lane pool. I don't think I can use the smaller pool again. As I approached the deep end 17 ft, it was weird.
Swim

  • 437 yards
  • 02m 02s / 100 yards
Comments:

We seeded ourselves according to times that they had set up. I tried to stay in the middle. I would rather pass people than get passed. Since this was my first tri I did not want to go out to hard. I passed a few people in the water. Almost had a collision with someone who was swimming up the lane as everyone else was going in the opposite direction. I exited the pool in good shape.
What would you do differently?:

Train in a bigger pool.
Transition 1
  • 02m 28s
Comments:

Since this was my first transition, I feel that things went smoothly. I don't use clip on pedals so I just had to get my socks and sneakers on. I laid everything out that I needed.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Bike
  • 19m 51s
  • 6 miles
  • 18.14 mile/hr
Comments:

This was the first time that I have taken my bike on the road. Only trainer rides up until this point. It felt like the wind was in my face the whole ride. I got passed by quite a few people. I knew that the bike would be a problem.
What would you do differently?:

Get out and ride more on the road.
Transition 2
  • 00m 38s
Comments:

I just had to dismount and get to the rack. I took a sip of gatorade and headed out for the run.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Run
  • 15m 10s
  • 2 miles
  • 07m 35s  min/mile
Comments:

Coming off the bike my legs felt good. I had done a few bricks in my training but ridng a spin bike and going to the treadmill is definitely different. Poured some water over my head on the second loop.
What would you do differently?:

Push the run a little harder.
Post race
Warm down:

Had some water and fruit. Took a couple of pictures with my kids.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of swimming in a larger pool and needing more time on the road with my bike.

Event comments:

This was a great event for my first Tri experience. I got to meet 1st Timer(Tim) and Cobanerro(Ed). I think they have talked me into doing a tri in Staten Island. This was a good way to start my tri career. The first thing my wife said after I finished was "i want to do this next year", she is a runner. I am happy with my finish, I had a goal to finish under 45 minutes but I was in the top third overall.

Way to go!!!!! You did awesome, especially for a first race. You finished in the top one third and got to meet a couple BTers. Sounds like another one bit by the tribug!
