Eat banana and yogurt. Ate a small muffin from the hotel lobby and downed a cup of coffee before driving to the race site.

  • 02m 22s / 100 meters
Comments:

Swim went well. I was drafting with group for the first 200m, but after the two buoys, I started getting my sighting all out of place. I wasn't sure which buoy to follow when I got near the 2nd Doritos buoy. Swam extra 100yards. Easily. Had to stop to correct my navigation twice. I was way off course the second time.
What would you do differently?:

I know how the course is set up, but I wish I studied the swim buoys better.
Transition 1

Comments:

Didn't really rush onto my bike. Made sure I stuffed everything in a bag, which was not necessary.
What would you do differently?:

Put my shoes on my bike and put it on while riding

Bike went great. Not much to improve there. It really helped to drive through the course before the race.
What would you do differently?:

None

  • 02m 23s
Comments:

Took a little time putting my socks on. I realized I put my socks on backwards so I had to correct it after putting everything on.
What would you do differently?:

None
Run

  • 10 kms
  • 04m 29s  min/km
Comments:

Obviously run is my strong leg. Made a mistake of using the event ankle (plastic) band. It dug into back of my ankle. It was bleeding bad by end of the race.
What would you do differently?:

Never put plastic ankle band. Ever.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk around. Get medical help to cleanse my ankle cut. Eat couple slices of pizza and banana.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Didn't want to push too hard for a B race

My first triathlon was at age 56. At first I was just the cameraman at my daughter's first triathlon, then I am doing the races that she has done.

The first time I ventured into the deep murky green lake and could not see the bottom my muscles tensed and my imagined fears surfaced. What exactly lies beneath?
