  • 500 meters
  • 04m 17s / 100 meters
Comments:

despite the chop, I had a decent swim, even though I wasn't very fast
What would you do differently?:

swim faster?
Transition 1
  • 03m 34s
Comments:

T1 involved a run up a hill to transition, and I took it easy to save myself for the bike. It also involved putting my swim stuff into swim bag, because this is a 2 transition format race.
What would you do differently?:

nothing
Bike
  • 50m 44s
  • 15 miles
  • 17.74 mile/hr
Comments:

I did not know what to expect because I didn't have a chance to preview the course. I knew there would be a bottleneck on a bridge crossing, with rough road. Most of the road was rough shoulder and got a little dicey with traffic just before coming back downtown.
What would you do differently?:

leave Austin earlier so I can preview the entire race course!
Transition 2
  • 02m 31s
Comments:

Again not having previewed the course, it was a little weird to come into a different transition than I left. There was also a lot of people around, so I went cautiously.
What would you do differently?:

Probably nothing. I'm naturally cautious and would rather take a few more seconds to be safe and not hit anyone.
Run
  • 40m 36s
  • 5 kms
  • 08m 07s  min/km
Comments:

I hadn't been running much at all due to the inactivity on vacation and I knew my knees would kill me. Leading up to the race, I couldn't get a 3 mile run (on its own) under 40 minutes, so I was prepared to be happy with anything close to 40 min for the run segment. I managed to stay ahead of Sandy, but only because I got ahead of her on the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Not go to Colorado during a flood so I can't continue training in the weeks before the race.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of training and too much weight.

Event comments:

This race was on my birthday. I had been a little disappointed I couldn't do the Olympic distance on my birthday, but the unknown of "no training on vacation" made me glad I only did the Sprint.
