Pre-Race
Relaxed, I got a great parking spot and had plenty of time to setup and psych my self up.
Swim
For the swim I focused on not becoming winded and keeping a steady breast-stroke pace for the 1/4 mile in warm water. I got kicked a couple times but did a good pace.
Bike
The transition was good, but I lost 30 seconds trying to get clipped in. The exit of transition started immediately up hill and My aim was off. But I got clipped in and headed up the hills. My pace was steady, but I did not want to really push until the middle of the 10 mile distance. I knew a good portion of the road course and where I could gain speed. Once past the first two miles I pushed down the flats and got into a good cadence, with a smile on my face. I love the bike. They added hills to the route that I wasn’t expecting. I didn’t try to muscle up them, but I need to do some more training on hills to be competitive next time.
Run
The path for the run was different with a hills in the beginning. The first mile was fine, at a 9:40 pace. But the second mile was hard. It got very hot real quick, and I dehydrated. I thought I had drank enough, but I did start to sweat a lot. That was the brick wall. The second mile was a run-walk combo which hurt y time. The final mile was a jog and I finished in 1:29.
After Race
I met up with a couple people I know and socialized a little more. Most importantly I got my t-Shirt. I love my tri-shirts.
Things I Learned:
I need to start training during the day to get used to the heat. I usually run at night.
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate I need to increase how much I drink during the bike phase and carry a bottle with me on the run.
I love doing Triathlons.
Next one in 30 days. I am on target to do my iron man in October.
