Pre-race routine:

A couple slices of cold pizza and a glass of apple juice to clear the cobwebs. Banana after setting up transition.

Walked around transition. Talked to a bunch of people. Walked the first 1/4 mile of the run w/ Evondo and scoped out the swim start.
Event warmup:

They moved the swim start to the opposite side of the lake. Didn't feel like walking around so I just swam across with Houstonrider.

stayed out on the bars the entire time. good. not liking the cobb vflow saddle.

i had a hard time finding a comfortable gear.

dead dog on side road. very sad.

two guys passed me drafting. for some reason this tweaked me. i let them know what i thought of it and the guy behind dropped back.

Warm down:

forgot jelly belly's (shame on me) so just drank beer. Awesome group of BT er's and HRTC.

i haven't done squat since bslt.

Event comments:

GREAT RACE!

*sarc* Warm beer is warm. It only gets cold if you put ice on it. You need to ice beer before the race starts in order for it to be cold when we finish. If you put ice on the beer after the race some people might not be happy.

edit. thankfully, one smart Marine and his wife volunteered and brought a cooler full of ICE COLD BEER!
