Pre-race routine:

Had to get up early as i had body marking to do. Got there at 6 am and got my things ready then went over to body mark people.
If you got a smiley face it may have been me.
The night before i picked out about 30 metal and glass spikes out my tires from the Maywood ride. Really i should of bought new tires but money is tight. I was wave 12 so i watched the fast guys on the run. WOW they are fast.
Event warmup:

Just ran back and forth to transistaion a few times. Came off a 70 mile bike ride yesterday so my legs were still tired.

Well 4 miles in my front tire blew out. First time this year. i pulled over and i think it took me about 10 mins to change the tube and get going. Found a massive spike in my tire.
This made the rest of the race kind of a bummer and i think i slowed up knowing i had no chance of placing
Winner was 56:43
