Total Time = 00m
Overall Rank = 18/107

Pre-race routine:

Decided to sleep in a bit more before driving to the race. Had PB & Honey sandwich and banana for breakfast 2 hours prior to race start. 16 oz of water also.
Event warmup:

Because I slept in, I had less time at the race site to do a warm-up. Brief run 60 minutes before start. Spent a good 30 minutes in the water, acclimating and swimming before start.
Swim
  • 27m 56s
  • 1640 yards

Great first try swim after last year's broken shoulder. This was my first open water & wetsuit swim since IM 70.3 Rhode Island in 2010.
What would you do differently?:

Not much.
Transition 1
  • 02m 55s

Darn wetsuit wouldn't come off.
What would you do differently?:

Practice transition pieces: wetsuit removal, running with & jumping on bike with shoes clipped in.

Felt great on the flats. Climbed better in the second half of the bike then the first.
What would you do differently?:

Continue to work on climbing skills.
Transition 2
  • 01m 16s
What would you do differently?:

Again, need to practice transition parts: riding with feet on top of shoes, jumping off moving bike, running with bike, etc.

Comments:

Hard to tell how many people I caught on the run, but I passed 20. Again, hills were tough, but held a good pace throughout. Second out & back was faster than the first.
What would you do differently?:

Train on hillier roads.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk, stretch.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Signing up for the race two weeks prior. My persistent trouble with hills.
