Sunny

Total Time = 2h 54m 22s
Overall Rank = /
Age Group = 30-34
Age Group Rank = 3/20

Pre-race routine:

We stayed in a house in Seven Lakes which is about 15 miles from the race site. I overslept but still had enough time to get ready. Had some oatmeal and a coffee and then Scott and I were on our following the rest of the gang.

Event warmup:

Arrived before the race in time to warm up with a run. The air was cool and so warming was definately needed. We had picked up our packets the night before so it was a relaxing race morning.

Swim

35m 30s
1640 yards
02m 10s / 100 yards

Comments:

Not a good swim. I was 15 out 20 in my AG. My sighting is horrible and I think that had a lot to do with it. Had to stop a few time to figure out where I was and I did end up getting off track a bit.

What would you do differently?:

Swim straighter.

Transition 1

01m 59s

Comments:

Not a bad transition considering I had a wetsuit on and we had a long run out of the water.

Bike

1h 33m 7s
30 miles
19.33 mile/hr

Comments:

Overall I was really happy with my bike. Being from Wilmington we don't have the hills to train on but I felt like I was able to tackle them pretty well. I was second in my AG and that felt awesome. Passed a few gals in my AG along the way.

Transition 2

01m 3s

Run

42m 44s
6.21 miles
06m 53s min/mile

Comments:

I felt FANSTASTIC on the run and didn't even look at my watch. I just ran. Probably the best run I have had since my hip injury. I felt like I 2nd place.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing...I gave it my all.

Post race

Warm down:

Ran back to meet Scott on the run course with John and Erin.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My Swim...horrible.

Event comments:

Set Up Events did a great job as usual!
