Pre-race routine:

Up at 4:00 a.m. Ate two baked potato and a thing of oatmeal. Little bit of Gatorade and a Cliff Block. Out to the race at 5:15. Little more Gatorade and another Cliff Block.
Event warmup:

Just kind of walked around and stretched. Nothing crazy. Not a big warm up guy.

Comments:

First T-1 ever. Was going to be happy to just find my bike. Had a great spot though, right at the exit/entrance point.
What would you do differently?:

I saw some people sitting down, so I kind of took my time. Maybe next time I'll try and do it a little faster.

Post race
Warm down:

Almost puked. Went back into the water to cool off. That was a very good idea.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My fear of going out too hard and not finishing with a decent time. I also should not have taken so many supplements before the race. They made me feel like crap at certain points.

Event comments:

This was a very good first race for me to boost my confidence. I wanted to come in under 1:50. Would have been very happy with under 1:40. I did 1:31.
