Pre-race routine:

Had 2 Powerbars because I was getting hungry (breakfast at 4:30 am!). Didn't get my pre-race Roctane, but brought 2 with me for the bike.

Event warmup:

Did a quick bike to make sure everything was shifting OK and did about a 1 mile run. Bike and run felt HORRIBLY slow and labored. Crap.

Run

Comments:

Felt fast because it WAS fast. I was really working! Went out hard, eased up a bit in the middle, and held on for the end.

What would you do differently?:

Not much. Good opening 5K.

Transition 1

Bike

Comments:

Worked hard, but it felt OK. Had some calf-cramps, so I pushed the Gu Brew a bit.

Transition 2

Run

Comments:

Went out hard-ish, and started to die. That's what I NEEDED to do, but the last half felt horrible (as it probably should).

What would you do differently?:

I eased up a bit in the last .25 miles. I should have pushed harder all the way through. But that's about it.

Post race

Warm down:

No run, but a good stretch in the shade in the grass.
