Pre-race routine:

Got there early. Picked up packet, body marking and chip, set up transition and then sat in my car for a few minutes relaxing!

Couple of laps in the pool about 15 minutes before the event began.

Comments:

Caught up to the person in front of me but couldn't pass him. As a result, the good behind me caught up to me. We ended up getting out of the pool at the same time.
What would you do differently?:

Big mistake wearing my new "tri top". I should have known it fit too loosely to be worn in the pool. I definitely noticed it dragging early on.

  • 01m 10s
Comments:

Felt like I did it pretty quickly but still slower than just about everyone else.
What would you do differently?:

Messing around with my towel cost me some time.

Post race
Event comments:

Lots of volunteers and the course was very well marked off. If you're looking for post-race activities, though, this isn't it. Water bottles available in coolers at the finish but that's it. No Gatorade, no food. Also, you had to walk 1/2 mile or so back to the start/transition area to get your bike.
