Pre-race routine:

Woke up and had my morning coffee routine. Nothing special as this was a "training day" for me. Not going to take this one too seriously...just gearing up for Clemson.
Event warmup:

Short spin to the park entrance and back. Swam about 100 easy.

Nice and easy. Didn't take it too fast. Only pushed a little in the first 100 to get loose and warm up a bit.

Kept my heart rate down and really enjoyed the ride. Wanted to take it easy after being idle for 6 days due to sickness. I hit the climb feeling nice and relaxed and went up with medium effort. Enjoyed the descent and hit a top speed of 46.

What an AWESOME course! I was about to croak at the top of the paved road before turning onto the trail. THEN, straight up again! Once the downhil started, I couldn't stop! Ended up biting the dust on the flatter part of the course and got bloodied a bit but had a great run!
