Pre-race routine:

Got up. Got dressed. Ate my English muffin, peanut butter, honey, and banana. Drove to the race site. Tried to find a good song on the radio station the whole way there, but was not successful.
Event warmup:

Nothing. Set up my transition. Warmed up my mouth chatting.

  • 600 yards
  • 01m 34s / 100 yards
Comments:

It was kind of a brutal race start. So, rather than get in the mix of it, I slowed up a bit. I started drafting off that pack, and then realized that the pace was too slow. So, I swam around the group. I didn't really get to clear water until 2/3rds of the swim was done. My bad. I did ride a couple of the waves in. It was choppy out there.
What would you do differently?:

I will get in there next time. Then, I will relax and swim. I will not pound the water.
Transition 1
  • 00m 48s
Comments:

Nothin' much. It was busy. There was enough room to move around. It was actually a fun transition. Strange, I know.

Comments:

This was a fun ride. I was leap-frogging with a friend the entire time. We had a great time egging each other on. I think that I could have given it a little more, but not much.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Transition 2
  • 00m 39s
Comments:

No complaints on this one. Tried to put on my socks, and then decided against it. Luckily, it didn't come back to haunt me.
What would you do differently?:

Don't even bother with the socks.
Run
  • 27m 56s
  • 3.5 miles
  • 07m 59s  min/mile
Comments:

I'm proud of this run. I pushed myself. I'm not a runner by any stretch of the imagination. So, I kept repeating to myself throughout the run, "you can run...I'm going to run." I even mustered up the energy to sprint to the end, and tied with a girl who had passed me earlier.
What would you do differently?:

Smiled more?
Post race
Warm down:

Ate and talked. Stretched.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I think that I'm learning how to push myself more. I need to do that more in training.

Event comments:

This was a great, flat course. It was a fun way to start the season.
