Pre-race routine:

The great thing about this race was that my heat didn't start until after 10:30. No getting up at 4 am. I slept in, left the house about 8:30 and was out of transition by 9:30.
Event warmup:

Minimal WU. About a 5-10 minute light run and a couple minutes in the pool before my heat went off.

Comments:

Good Swim - I could have gone a little faster with a faster lane. The 5 of us were between 8:15 and 8:50. It was real difficult to pass so I stayed on the heels of the guy in front of me.
What would you do differently?:

Get in a faster lane - maybe 8:00 pace.

Transition went well - I had a tough time getting on the bike.

I'm still trying to break that 21 mph barrier. I had Julia's Zipps again -I'm getting spoiled.
Transition 2
  • 01m 2s
Comments:

I don't know how some of these guys can transition in less than 45 seconds.
Run
  • 24m 20s
  • 3 miles
  • 08m 07s  min/mile
Comments:

I felt OK but I couldn't get the legs to move faster. I did however negative split the run by about minute. The run has always been the toughest of the 3.
Post race
Warm down:

Taking the kids to the Zoo.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I haven't done a whole lot of training since the Cranberry Country OLY Tri in Boston on August 26th. This race was a last minute deal.

Event comments:

This was a great race for me - 6+ minutes faster than last year. I'm hooked on this stuff.
