Pre-race routine:

Woke up early ~4:15 and had a bowl of Scottish oatmeal with craisins and a few strawberries. Ate a powerbar about 45 minutes before race start.
Event warmup:

jogged around for about 10-15 minutes and swam a few hundred yards right before the start.

  • 440 yards
  • 01m 02s / 100 yards
Comments:

such a short swim. Wasted time trying to draft off of someone that was much slower than me. By the time I realized how slow we were going I was almost at the second turn buoy. I just took off from there.
What would you do differently?:

Just swim all out in such a short swim, not worry about getting on someone's feet so much.

Comments:

The rack was just low enough so that the top of my seat couldn't clear it without forcing it.

Good T2, no hangups except my foot missed the left shoe on the first try.

Comments:

Cross country bits sucked. Very uneven ground made it hard to get moving. A woman in front of me caught an ankle and flat out ate it right in front of me. I helped her up and made sure she was OK.
What would you do differently?:

Could have pushed a little harder, but I'm still getting over a respiratory illness.
Post race
Warm down:

Free Brats! walked around a bit, watched the kids tri, stretched some.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Respiratory illness.

Event comments:

Great race, a bit short, but overall very organized.
