Pre-race routine:

Nothing out of the ordinary. Granola bar in the morning, some gatorade, and a 5 hr energy.
Event warmup:

Light jog to loosen the muscles. No more than .5 mile at a fairly slow pace. Stretched the legs as well.

Definitely some fast runners at this race. Under 7 pace, and still in lower half of the AG.
What would you do differently?:

Run faster

Comments:

Had a little mishap with mounting before line. Had to jump back off, walk across line, and jump back off. Lost a little time there.
What would you do differently?:

Follow the rules. Wait until after the line to mount the bike.

Comments:

This ride seemed harder than recent ones. Averaged just over 21, which should have been fairly easy. However, seemed like I really had to work for that speed this time.

  • 00m 55s
Comments:

Took a little breather when racking the bike. Probably lost ~5 seconds doing that. Overall, not bad.
What would you do differently?:

No breaks!!

Comments:

Disappointed with this run. Based on the first run, and my fitness level, I should have been about 20-30 seconds faster here. Just didn't seem to have the snap in my stride. Thinking it was because of the difficulty of the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Run faster
Post race
Warm down:

Some stretching, breakfast burrito, and water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My ability.

Event comments:

I like this race. Close to home, no traffic on the bike. Good race with some fast racers.
