Pre-race routine:

Packed car the night before. Woke up at 3am(!), showered, made PB sandwich, got bottles ready, in the car at 3:45am for the 2.5 hour drive to the race. Got there about 6:15, checked in, body marked, got chip and set up transition.
Event warmup:

2 mile run w/ some pick-ups, ~5 mile ride on the bike course, swam the swim course (a little longer than 600 meters as advertised.

  • 600 meters
  • 01m 50s / 100 meters
Comments:

OK swim. Just not at all in good swimming shape. This will change.
What would you do differently?:

Actually swim more than once a week.
Transition 1
  • 00m 54s
Comments:

I guess i need to start practicing with my shoes clipped in out of transition. Esp. at this race, with a steep downhill on pavement to the mount line ...very slippery w/ cycling shoes on). I just can't afford to give away 20 seconds in transition.
What would you do differently?:

Run barefoot out of transition, with shoes clipped in.
Bike

  • 12.4 miles
  • 19.45 mile/hr
Comments:

So I thought I had a good bike. My computer showed 21.0 mph, but also 12.9 miles (0.5 miles longer than advertised). I think my computer must not be calibrated correctly. I'm just not competitive on the bike right now...must get better.
What would you do differently?:

Train more. Truthfully, I have been taking a bit of a break in my training the last few weeks. I'm starting my plan for the Great Floridian HIM today, and needed a bit of a breather before getting serious again, so I guess a drop in my fitness was to be expected. Doesn't mean I have to like it, though.
Transition 2
  • 00m 49s
Comments:

Good transition, I guess. For this race, T2 times are included in the run split, so I don't know how I did comparitively.
What would you do differently?:

Not much.

OK run I guess. Don't have much speed.

Train more.
Post race
Warm down:

Swam a little.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not enough training. This will change.

Nice job on the race.  I finished it in 1:16:35, exactly a minute and 9 places overall behind you.  Your swim was awesome.
