Pre-race routine:

Event warmup:

Felt the water
Swim
  • 32m 31s
  • 1609 meters
  • 02m 01s / 100 meters
Comments:

Decent swim. Much improved over sprint race last month. Swam 1:50 seconds per 100 yards. Started out toward the front so as to avoid getting caught behind folks who do the breast stroke and back stroke.
What would you do differently?:

Push a bit harder. I took it easy on the swim.
Transition 1
  • 03m 48s
Comments:

Friends came out to support. Spent an extra minute or two talking with them.
What would you do differently?:

Get that wet suit off more quickly and have shoes and shirt ready to go.
Bike
  • 1h 28m 27s
  • 24 miles
  • 16.28 mile/hr
Comments:

I remained aerobic the entire distance. Next time, I'm going to push it harder.
What would you do differently?:

Get a better bike instead of my Wal-Mart special.

  • 00m 42s
Run
  • 1h 04m 33s
  • 6 miles
  • 10m 46s  min/mile
Comments:

Did not push the run. Just wanted to finish injury free.
What would you do differently?:

Try to hit 9:30 minute mile next year.
Post race
Warm down:

An ice bath. My two and four year olds thought it was amusing and decided to join me.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My concern about getting injured. My interest in finishing without running out of energy. I did not push and remained aerobic throughout the race.

Next time I will do several things:

1. Swim a bit harder
2. Improve transition time from the swim to the bike
3. Push harder on the bike
4. Run a bit faster.

Event comments:

Nice race. Well-organized. Good, clean swim. Flat, attractive bike course.
