Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 4:30, ate cereal with strawberries and drank some gatorade. Drove to the parking lot and rode about half a mile to the event.
Event warmup:

Walked, jogged a little and stretched
Swim
  • 15m 59s
  • 547 yards
  • 02m 55s / 100 yards
Comments:

I had a good swim, I felt in control and I thought I was on pace for 18 minutes and note 16, however when I got to what I thought was 2 laps to go they said one so I thought I maybe miscounted. Because I estimated 20 minutes and finished in 16 there was a disqualification if you finished 2 minutes faster than your predicted time. Was officially disqualified for finishing too fast
What would you do differently?:

Trust my own lap count and if I was wrong, do another lap for this one race with penalties for swimming
Transition 1
  • 01m 55s
Comments:

Thought I did fairly okay on this transition
What would you do differently?:

larger socks, I had a sock pair that was too small.
Bike
  • 1h 00m 35s
  • 15 miles
  • 14.86 mile/hr
Comments:

That hill stinks but it was also the uphill on the back side of the loop that slowed me down more
What would you do differently?:

Need to work on my biking since it's the worst area where I lost the most time
Transition 2
  • 02m
Comments:

Could be better and I had trouble getting one shoe unclipped
What would you do differently?:

Two areas to improve, put yanks on the shoes and remember to lay everything out. I forgot to put my energy gel out so I had to reach into my bag
Run
  • 40m 39s
  • 4.5 miles
  • 09m 02s  min/mile
Comments:

The easiest part of the three for more. Slowed down a little for each mile but felt okay.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, had some fruit

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Biking

Event comments:

Good race, except for officially disqualifying, and I will do it next year

Good race, Mike! I'd probably contest the DQ, but that's just me. Looks like your swimming's improving. The rest will keep coming too. Good job out there!
