Pre-race routine:

Got up at 5.30, oatmeal and half a powerbar, drove to race, got a good spot on rack. 15 minutes later this jackhole squeezes next to me.
Event warmup:

Not a big warmup guy..meaning i dont run more than 2 miles before a race. I ran about 1.5 miles and stretched, sipped on some water and had a couple blocks.

Comments:

Very muddy, but easy to swim in. Got a little roudy and i got "jumped" a few times. I had to use breast strokes for a lil because i got off course and needed the sighting help.
What would you do differently?:

Work on sighting, and just keep swimming, more OWS

Comments:

Older guys were just pounding me on the bike, i really wanted to pass the ""disc wheelers", but sadly couldnt. I started off FAST, but by mile 7 i felt fatigue in my muscles, and mph dropped to 17 ish, but managed to finish strong, with avg of 20.6 mph.
What would you do differently?:

Get aerobars, later today i got some clip ons.

Much better, i forgot my belt, but it didnt matter. The lock laces helped.

The bike really put a toll on my quads and i started to cramp within the first mile....but on the last 1.5 miles and i turned on cross country mode and began to pick people off. Prob went from 7.50 pace to 6.20 pace.
What would you do differently?:

More speed work
Post race
