Pre-race routine:

Typical drive, breakfast, and prep, although quite abbreviated. Only left ourselves a little over an hour to get ready!
Event warmup:

By far the least amount of warmup I've ever done. Light jog down to the lake. A little stretch and no more than a dip into the water before the gun.

Good first segment, mostly relaxed. I got in a log jam at the first corner which got my breathing out of sync. Never really got it back as I was really trying to push the last 200.

Event comments:

A little unorganized in transition. Way too crowded on our bike rack, but everyone was very friendly and cooperative. Good race though. Bike course was pleasant and the run was challenging.

I’m terrified of biking hills and the triathlon I am registered for has several hills…on AND off road!! I’m willing to do whatever it takes to finish this triathlon. Any guidance?
