Pre-race routine:

I was using this as a training day looking forward to Augusta. I trained hard all week leading into race day. Maybe tapers are overrated????

I got up at 5 and showered. I ate a cliff bar, banana, and 1 gel prior to the swim start.

Decent bike for me. Hills are not my strength, but I did feel really good. My HR data was low - maybe I should have pushed it a tad bit?

Not much. Consider pushing a little harder.

Push a little harder.
