Event warmup:

Jogged ~1mi then got in the water and swam 600m. Arms felt heavy but they always do when warming up.

Comments:

Water was like a bath tub too damn hot. Felt good, got out of the water ready to start the race. I was the 3rd one in the water (10s apart) and came out first so I'm pretty sure I had one of the fastest swim splits but we'll see when the results come out.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Transition 1

Comments:

I was a little slow in T1 this time, spent too much time with socks.
What would you do differently?:

Learn to run without socks :)

So here's where the race got interesting... I got passed up by Dean King and some other guy during transition so was 3rd out on the bike. First 4mi I hung behind the other guy and then decided to overtake him and try and catch Dean. There were 3 u-turns and on every single one of them I could tell Dean was extending his lead. I averaged 288W for the ride @24.3mph that is IF I stopped biking at 12mi... instead I missed a turn and ended up doing 16.1mi not 12mi. I was furious when I figured this out but looking back I know I had a great 12mi split and have the powertap data to prove it :)
What would you do differently?:

Don't be a dumba$$ and miss turns... learn to read a map might be helpful too. I'm going to pretend this mishap didn't happen and rate the bike as 'Good' because it really was a strong bike for me.
Transition 2
  • 00m 35s
Comments:

No troubles with T2, swapped shoes, grabbed hat/race belt and garmin and was out of there.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Run

Comments:

I was so pissed off after screwing up the bike I just wanted to get the race over with. I didn't push myself very hard but kept it at a respectable (for me) 7/mi.
What would you do differently?:

Not f-up the bike so badly so the run matters more :)
Post race
Warm down:

Ate lots of pizza. No beer unfortunately :(

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Screwing up the course.

Event comments:

I would have been 2nd overall even with my crappy run without the bike mishap. Ended up 2nd in my AG which surprised the heck out of me so I can't complain too much. Overall I was happy with my effort and paces, will definitely pay more attention next time if I'm out in front because there's no pack to follow!
