Pre-race routine:

Woke up at hotel, ate oatmeal. Set up transition, and talked to the other people on my rack.

Event warmup:

100 yards of swimming in canal.

Swim

Comments:

Good swim. First heat and eveyone sprinted at the start, but I caught them at the 200 meter mark.

Transition 1

Comments:

Had trouble with the mount again. Seems to be something I need to work on.

Bike

Comments:

Should have rode in aero more, and the finish snuck up on me. Legs were tight off the bike.

Transition 2

Comments:

Could have been faster. Need to set race belt up better.

Run

Comments:

Drank HEED at water station #1 and it burned a hole in my gut.

What would you do differently?:

Not drink anything but water. Probably should have fueled better on bike.

Post race

Warm down:

Drank water, walked around for 5 minutes and then found some shade.

Event comments:

Fun event, and great venue. A lot of fun swimming in the canal, will do it again next year.
