Pre-race routine:

Checked in got my number and shirt pre-race so I put it on number 124 on the shirt over to body marking and waited for the kids to finish and then over to the swim deck for a pre-race meeting. Nikki and Amanda showed up and watched which was great.
Event warmup:

Not much did some streching with a few guys who seemed to know how to really strech properly, back was hurting from work so this helped alot.

Comments:

Not sure about my swim placement, watch said 10:42 but the official time was over 11 min because I went over to get my stuff at other end of pool. It was a great swim 80% crawl and only about 20% breaststroke.
What would you do differently?:

Seed myself a little quicker maybe just behind the 10min guys and not put stuff on wrong side of pool.

Had to run to other side of pool to get stuff next time everything stays in transistion by the bike. It was ok had to dry myself a bit throw the shoes and socks on and helmut and made sure not to ride in transistion unlike guy ahead of me got a penality.
What would you do differently?:

Keep everything by bike.

The ride was nice as it was a race I did push it harder than I normally would have. Passed a few and got passed by 2 overall I passed more than I was passed by.

Put more air in tires I think they were a bit low.

Ok run considering I rode hard just before it and was feeling it a bit by then. Mostley jogging and a few walks mainly over bridges and aid stations. Got passed by a few and I passed a few people near the end of the course.
What would you do differently?:

Run faster hopefully I can get it under 34 min in Walnut Grove.
