Post race
Warm down:

Walked off the lactic acid and drank Gatorade.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Anxiety the night before due to the 40 degree weather. I assumed the water would be FREEZING cold but found it comfortable. Didn't sleep much due to worrying about that. Would have done much better if I had tested the water the night before.

Event comments:

The name says it all. That could be the neatest place to hold a triathlon in the state.

Nice ranking - 8/40!  Your times all look strong, and you got 1st place in AG (looks like out of 1, but I'd take it!)  FYI - You mentioned unbuckling your helmet while running with the bike in future races-just be sure about race rules.  If I'm not mistaken, you can't unbuckle your helmet until your bike is racked...may be info on another thread.
