Pre-race routine:

Woke a 3:30 am, ate and left at 4:30 for the 2+ hour drive. After a restroom stop I finally arrived just in time to pickup packet, set up transition, restroom break, and get to the starting line.

Event warmup:

None. Warm-up consisted of setting up transition area, and moving to the starting line.

Very happy with the first run.

What would you do differently?:

Arrive earlier and warm up?

Transition 1

Comments:

Transition much better than last year.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Bike

1h 12m 17s
22 miles
18.26 mile/hr

Comments:

Although my time was the same as last year, It was much slower than goal. Seems like I'm struggling on bike legs of races this year. Funny since I'm a pretty strong cyclist.

Transition 2

00m 54s

Comments:

Best transition yet. I was finally able to come out of both shoes prior to reaching the dismount line without slowing to a crawl. Good dismount and run with the bike.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Run

50m 38s
6.21 miles
08m 09s min/mile

Comments:

Slower pace than planned.

Post race

Warm down:

Walked, waited at the finishline for other Club members. Ate a couple of orange slices, and 2 bottles of water. Fought off severe stomach pains for the remainder of the day.

Event comments:

Overall my results were better than last year by 5 minutes but not quite where they should be. On the bright side, I'm very happy with my transitions and satisfied with my runs. Congrats to NAMSC members Johnathon, Sara, and Leslie for podium finishes also.
