Overall Rank = 84/383
Age Group = 40-45
Age Group Rank = 7/23

Pre-race routine:

We got lost on the way, so we arrived late. I was pre-registered, but the line was moving at a snail's pace. I barely got my number before I had to run to the start-line. Not a perfect start!

Event warmup:

Well because of the line delays, the race started 15 minutes late, which was great. It gave me time for a short warm-up run. I felt good. Wore my Zoot Tri-Suit, and it felt good while I warmed up.

Swim

03m 45s
164 yards
02m 17s / 100 yards

Transition 1

01m 30s

Comments:

Again, reverse Tri so T1 was actually from the run to the bike. It was good, I came in feeling good and fast as they'd shortened the run course. Got geared up and headed out quickly.

Bike

32m 4s
12 miles
22.45 mile/hr

Transition 2

01m 45s

Comments:

T2 for the reverse Tri was from bike to swim so I racked my bike, took off the shoes, grabbed my goggles and ran to the pool.

Run

18m 40s
3.1 miles
06m 01s min/mile

Post race

Warm down:

Walked around, got some water, a few snacks. I felt pretty zapped for about 10 minutes, then I recovered pretty well. I walked back to the transition area, changed and walked around the finish some more. I had a few carbo drinks, more water, a banana and few cookies.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing really, just training... work harder go faster. :)

Course:	The course was shortened for whatever reason so I don't really know exactly how long it was, but it was fast. I came in at like 18:30. If it was 2.5 miles instead of 3.1, that's still pretty fast for me. It was an out and back, basically flat and went well.
