Pre-race routine:

Got up at 5:40 and registered on site. Set the bike up after getting my packet went with real no frills transition area. Got body marked after setting up the bike and leaving transition area. Watched the pros start swim and then walked home to wait for an hour or so. Saw the pros go by on their bikes as I was walking.
Event warmup:

Swam about 100 yards for a warm up.

Try to maintain faster pace sooner.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked back home and took shower and took dogs for a walk.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I felt great because I was able to train for this one without sacrificing too much personal time. I incorporated the race into my life instead of letting it run my life.

Event comments:

I love this race. It is super crowded but well organized and fun. Watching the pros is great.
