Pre-race routine:

Woke up showered and had some waffles. I finished getting my things together and headed out. I loved the fact that the race was only about 15 minutes away. I didn't feel rushed.
Event warmup:

I went out in the water and swam a bit. It was my first time doing that at a race and it's probably good for me since I get a little nervous with the swim.
Swim

  • 500 yards
  • 02m 20s / 100 yards
Comments:

I was pretty relaxed going into the swim. My sighting must have been a little off because I felt like I was zig zagging. There was a red canoe that kept going in front of the buoy, That was very frustrating.
What would you do differently?:

Simw faster

Comments:

I pushed myself but felt good. There was one girl that we kept going back in forth with each other. That makes me crazy. I passed lots of people and occasionally got pasted.
Transition 2
  • 01m 55s
Run
  • 25m 7s
  • 3 miles
  • 08m 22s  min/mile
Comments:

I went out pretty fast and had to walk a bit. I didn't wear my Garmin so I would obsess about my pace. When I took a walk break a woman told me to keep going and I began to run again to the finish. I wish I could have thanked her at the end.
What would you do differently?:

Not go out so fast and pace myself a little slower so that I don't have to walk.

Warm down:

Got some water and a banana. Took advantage of the massage booth.
