Pre-race routine:

Camped the night before right at the race site. Decent campground on the lake. Woke up and set up my stuff in transition. Ate a power bar and a gel. Drank some HEED and Perp mixture.
Event warmup:

Jogged around a bit (in my sandals).

Comments:

About what I expected on the swim. My sighting was the best its ever been for the first half of the race. About half way in, the water got choppy and I went back to my usual all over the course swimming. Could have been better, but could have been worse.

Great ride for me. Even though I still got passed...a lot...it was a good ride for me. I just need to get more time in the saddle. I can make up a lot of time here.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe push just a little harder? Hard to say if the run would have come out the same.
Transition 2
  • 01m 15s
Comments:

Extra slow. Putting on socks really slows me down, but I have to do it. The next sprint I do I'm gonna go without.
What would you do differently?:

?

Comments:

A great run. Pretty much held just over 7 minute pace. Caught a second wind with 2 miles to go and really hustled. Not sure if the last mile was short, or if I really sped up that much, but I ran a 6:0x mile!
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Post race
Warm down:

Hamburger.

Great race, I'll be back for more.
