Pre-race routine:

I did the run part of this half iron so my pre-race routine consisted mostly of getting to the race way to early in the moring and then waiting for my turn to go. I have to say it was cool to see the swimmers leave the beach and watch the elite athletes in transition.
Event warmup:

None really as I would be running 13.1. Just some stretching and strides to get ready for the transition.

Warm down:

Walked around a bit and waited for the Captn to come through. Wanted to get some food, but the line was ridiculous.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing.

Event comments:

This is a good race venue, but I have to say that I would not want to do the bike portion as it seems a bit dangerous out there on Rt. 1 crossing over the exits and whatnot. The run was real nice and the swim looked nice too. Ending on the beach in the deep sand seems a little cruel though.

Course: The course was nasty. Too much time on the highway, then some nasty back road climbing and then too much more time on the highway with a headwind to boot. Teammate Polly did the ride and she was awesome. Averaging 17.3 MPH over 56 miles is pretty awesome.
