Pre-race routine:

Got up around 5:30 a.m. had a bagel with peanutbutter and a banana and set off for Wrentham, MA (about a 90 minute drive for me).
Event warmup:

Arrived about 7:30. Stood in line for a long time for the port-o-potty and then did some pre-race stretching.
Run
  • 27m 8s
  • 3 miles
  • 09m 02s  min/mile
Comments:

Went well. I wanted to take the first run nice and easy as I tend to burn out early.
What would you do differently?:

I could have ran a little faster. I think I may have been a wee bit too conservative.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

No Transition Times, so my times for the Bike and Second Run include Transition times. Felt like my transition was a little slow, but I'm not really sure.
Bike
  • 39m 51s
  • 11 miles
  • 16.56 mile/hr
Comments:

My bike time and pace were faster than what was recorded due to the issue of including transition times in the bike split. My pace (according to the bike computer) was more like 18 mph.
What would you do differently?:

I could probably have pushed harder in the midle section of the bike, but once again I was being conservative.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Once again, no transition time.
Run
  • 20m 6s
  • 2 miles
  • 10m 03s  min/mile
Comments:

As with the bike, my second run was faster than the recroded time as it includes both the run and the tansition. Overall though was a pretty good run to finish the race.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, did the recovery drink thing and then packed up the bike & gear.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

No swim. The swim is my best event and without it I'm just a little but off.
