Pre-race routine:

I was on call this weekend and I ended up on the phone until 01:00 in the morning dealing with issues at work. I drug myself out of the bed at 05:00 ate some p-nut butter,a banana, and drank some g'ade.
Event warmup:

I ran about 10 minutes with some pickups, I biked about 10 minutes with some pickups, and I swam about 100 yrds or so.

The overall speed for this race is deceiving b/c T1 and T2 times are added into the total bike time. This wasn't my best time on this bike course but it wasn't my worst.

Comments:

I actually felt pretty good on this run, which probably means I wasn't pushing hard enough.
Post race
Warm down:

I hung around talked briefly and talked to some friends. I checked the call phone and I had already received two calls from work during the race causing the post-race bliss to be short lived.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

It was HOT, but this race series is ALWAYS hot. It was unfortunate I was dealing with work issues until 1:00 AM, but that's part of the job. Overall I felt pretty good during the whole race. Once again, I guess if I felt good i wasn't pushing hard enough.

Event comments:

I love this race series. The kids get to stay at the beach house, and I only have to drive 15 minutes to get to the race site.
