Surf City, NC
United States
78F / 26C
Sunny

Total Time = 1h 02m 36s
Overall Rank = 71/112
Age Group = 35-39
Age Group Rank = 9/17

Pre-race routine:

Drove down night before and got packet; got up and drove back race morning with two friends who were also racing; set up transition area

Event warmup:

jogged a mile; rode 4 and walked in the ocean to prepare myself for water temp

Swim

14m 16s
800 yards
01m 47s / 100 yards

Comments:

did not swim well at all; free style maybe 25% of time, breast stroke the rest; got out of sync after swallowing first wave; never got into a groove; everytime did freestyle, ended up pulling to the right (toward the beach)

What would you do differently?:

try to concentrate more on stroke; try to find a way to swim in the ocean some more for practice

Transition 1

Comments:

was easier getting shoes on than expected; feet were clean, no need for water;

Bike

25m 23s
8 miles
18.91 mile/hr

Comments:

could have pushed harder

Transition 2

00m 30s

Run

22m 59s
3.1 miles
07m 25s min/mile

Comments:

could have pushed a little more;

What would you do differently?:

push harder on run

Post race

Warm down:

jogged and stretched

What limited your ability to perform faster:

not pushing myself to go all out, reserving energy which I should have used; have to get more in race metality for these short races
