Pre-race routine:

Got up @ 5:20, way too late for a 7AM start. Hustled to get out the door. Managed to get down my normal supplements. Also had a V8 and an EAS Whey Protein shake for breakfast. Ended up getting onsite about 6:20. Had WAY more than enough time.
Event warmup:

I thought I was going to be starting @ 7, so I didn't get much warm up. Managed to get some stretching in- arms, glutes, hams, back, and quads. Not as much as I would have liked, but adequate. Pays to wake up early and not hit snooze!

Never got any momentum. Felt like I was moving fast but the time would indicate otherwise.
What would you do differently?:

Do the course beforehand. And spend more time on the bike!!!!

Slow as hell. Need to work on this transition a lot.

Practice a lot more.

Thought I was running a lot faster than I actually was!!!! Dead tired by the last mile. Don't know what happened here- I actually felt good.

Always a fun race that's close to home. Definitely will be doing it again next year.
