Pre-race routine:

I was staying at my in-laws since they live way closer to Yorkton than I do. Got up, had some fruit, husband and I drove 1.75 hours to Yorkton. I ate 2 bananas on the way.
Event warmup:

Not much. Stood around. Hopped around a bit.

Paced myself well. Most people took off running quite quickly...resisted the urge to try and keep up.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Get better at running in bike shoes...

I bonked really badly on the bike. Up until now it's been quite cool so I haven't trained in the heat. I just felt sick and had nothing left.
What would you do differently?:

Train more in the heat.

Another long run with bike shoes.

Comments:

I had nothing left after the bike. I'm surprised my time wasn't longer - had to walk a few times. This was a tough run (mentally). I was in last place and kept getting the pity cheers that the last place person always gets. Oh well, somebody had to come in last. I still had a great time.
What would you do differently?:

Not bonk on the bike so I have something left for the run.
Post race
Warm down:

Had a lot of water. Ate a couple pieces of watermelon and half of a banana. Felt a little ill so I backed off of the food.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Bonking on the bike, the heat

Event comments:

There was a kids triathlon right before the adult duathlon and that's what this event was mostly geared toward. The post-race food had been sitting out in the sun since the kids started (hours and hours ago) so it was kind of gross. Not only that, but when I tried to grab some fruit, a volunteer kept trying to put it away and pack it up...before the adults even had a chance to eat any of it. I thought that was kind of rude.
