Total Time = 1h 08m 23s
Overall Rank = 1/80
Age Group = Female under 40
Age Group Rank = 1/17

Pre-race routine:

Drove down with my hubby who was doing his first tri.

Event warmup:

Got set up on our wooden racks. I knew a lot of people doing this small race so I just chatted and stretched a bit. Checked the pool temp- a lot warmer than last year.

Swim

07m 40s
437 yards
01m 45s / 100 yards

Comments:

Good, relaxed swim for me. I got passed by the swimmer behind and I passed the guy in front. I was #9 to start so the pool was not crowded. It did feel kind of wierd having everyone standing on the pool deck watching as we swam.

What would you do differently?:

Push a bit harder. I suddenly realized I had only 100 left to go before I started to swim hard. But this was a decent swim for me.

Transition 1

01m 15s

Comments:

Did a great job of everything except droppping my Garmin and having to back track to pick it up. I left my shoes ont he bike again, no problems there.

Bike

38m 45s
14.5 miles
22.45 mile/hr

Comments:

There were a lot of turns, 4 U-turns altogether and some of the road by the runway was really rough but all in all a decent course, lots of opportunities to see the other riders. It was so cool to see my hubby out there.

Transition 2

00m 52s

Comments:

I caught up with my training buddy in T2, I had tried all bike to catch her. We left T2 together and said "lets beat the boys".

Run

20m 11s
3 miles
06m 44s min/mile

Comments:

This was a good run for me. I had planned to just go as hard as I could. I maybe should have started out a bit faster as I had some left at the end. I was on my own for the run, so I just went by RPE and focused on good form.

Post race

Warm down:

I grabbed my camera and started taking pictures of my friends finishing. I ran out and saw that my hubby had passed 2 more guys on the run and was in first place. I was soooo happy for him. He runs really well and knew his time would be close to mine. I got lots of great pics. I couldnt believe I came in first o/all, it was kind of cool to beat the boys but I know that it wont be long until JT is faster than me, he's only been training for less than 3 months!
The awards were awesome- we got these huge cups. I'll post some pics. My friends came in 2nd and 3rd female and another friend took 1st overall male over 40. It was a good day!

Event comments:

Super fun local race. With Nathans tomorrow, the competition was probably less but I was still able to push myself and put up some decent times. Everything lately has been long in preparation for Soma so it was fun to make it hurt a bit and know that it would be over with in an hour :) I love sprints!
