Pre-race routine:

Sushi dinner night before. Sean and Terry came to my house at 5:15am and we went to the race together for our 5 minute drive . It was very light out for that time of day. Inflated the tires and racked our gear. Went to portapoddy

900 meters
02m 32s / 100 meters

Comments:

Swim was poor. I need to train more in the pool. The swim lsso includede a long run from the lake into transition.

What would you do differently?:

Train more

Transition 1

03m 59s

Comments:

Had to sit for a minute to pee in transition rather than stand up and run out of transition peeing on my bike

What would you do differently?:

Pee on my bike

Bike

52m 22s
17 miles
19.48 mile/hr

Comments:

I had a great ride considering the hills and i do not get to train them much - i will take this time. I went all out on the downhills and engaged most of the time - max speed was 35.4mph. I ran into Sean on the massive Colonial climb, as he had beat me out of the water.

What would you do differently?:

Train more hills

Transition 2

02m 35s

Comments:

Met up with Sean in T2 and prepared for the ride - I had lost both of my bottles and gels, but i had some iin T2 so i used them.

Run

1h 04m 36s
5 miles
12m 55s min/mile

Comments:

Sean ran with me the entire way - he could have saved 15 minutes by going it alone, but he hung back with me. He kept chatting which really helped me. The walk 1 and run 4 helped a lot as well. This was my best run pace in a race yet. My knees were locking up by miloe 4 so i had pushed everything i had so i feel happy about that.

What would you do differently?:

Train more

Post race

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training and excess weight

Event comments:

This was my favorite race thus far mostly because the people i love the most in the world were involved in it and it is the reason i began doing tris in the first place. I canot wait until next year's race.
