Pre-race routine:

Got up at 5:15am, had a bowl of porridge with milk, honey and some GoLean Crunch. Washed it down with a big glass of water.
Event warmup:

Ran the first 1/2 mile of the run course out and back. Some basic stretching.
Run
  • 22m 21s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 11s  min/mile
Comments:

A lot of people went off fast but slowed down into the run. I started a bit quicker than I feel I can run right now so backed off. After the first mile I started to pick through the people who were slowing after blowing their load early.
What would you do differently?:

Not much...train more a be faster?
Transition 1
  • 00m 39s
Comments:

I put myself at the wrong end of the transition (I know for next time) but set up my shoes and helmet in good order. Got strapped in and such pretty quickly, but had a longer than ideal trot out in my shoes.
What would you do differently?:

Position myself better in transition.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing, felt pretty good.

Event comments:

Well organized, timely, nice course. I'll do the rest of this series and probably do it many times.
