Pre-race routine:

Checked into Condo. Walked over to Town Center and bought some food. Ate Bagel with Peanut Butter and drank some water. Watched a little of the TDF to get pumped up.
Event warmup:

Rode bike around for 15 min. I have a high bib number (6150) so I had to wait around a while before I started. Took a gel right before I started.

Comments:

This was my first time trial. Overall, I was pretty happy with my results. Wasn't really sure what to expect or if I went too hard how it would impact my race the next day. I passed a few people. One person passed me, but I passed them again. Tried to stay in drops most of the race. Really wished I had a tri bike - they look so cool and fast.
What would you do differently?:

More warm up if I can. Although, its hard if you have a high bib number. If I sign up earlier, I may get a lower #. Maybe look into getting a Tri bike. Add more hill repeats into training.

Event comments:

Great Race. I will do this again next year for sure. May look into doing Lord of Flies as well. It was so much easier being close to the race.
