Pre-race routine:

Usually like to get a light jog in right after setting up transition, and then get my swim stuff ready and hit the water and just unwind. I am very comfortable in the water so it relaxes me before a race.
Swim
  • 09m 4s
  • 440 yards
  • 02m 04s / 100 yards
Comments:

Went out relatively hard to get my pace down and treied drafting off a guy who eneded up taking 3rd male overall, just couldn't stay with him for too long. I was on the inside so when we got near the first buoy, I got slapped a lot, and one guy kept running into me, so I pushed him off and sped around buoy. First time doing this race, next year I will know better and can do a lap under 8 minutes.
What would you do differently?:

Not go out as hard, find a good spot to set my pace, draft on a similar swimmer.
Transition 1
  • 03m 2s
What would you do differently?:

Walked a little getting into transition, should not feel tired after swim, no more walking!
Bike
  • 40m 15s
  • 11 miles
  • 16.40 mile/hr
What would you do differently?:

I think it would be smart to use this course as a trainer, not too far from my house and with these hills I will be hard core in no time!
Transition 2
  • 01m 57s
Run
  • 32m 57s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 10m 38s  min/mile
What would you do differently?:

Hit the hills harder next year so I can power up them without walking.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

My conditioning was not good leading up to this race, I should have gone under 1:20 but felt sluggish on bike and run.
