Pre-race routine:

I left my house at 6:00 am. Stopped at Jeremy Ranch to use the bathroom and get a Luna Bar. I ate my pbh on the way and drank a lot of water.
Event warmup:

Rode in about a mile from the shuttle drop off. Walked back and forth from transition to body marking and timing chip pick up.

I got in the water about 10 min before my wave and kicked around a bit.

Comments:

I kept the first mile easy to find my rhythmn..but then by the hill up the highway during mile two that stupid spot on my middle back started to cramp up. I fought it off as long as I could but by the time I got to the campground it was really bad. I walked a bit and tried to rub and stretch it out. I was only able to run about 2-3 min at a time after that before it would wrench up again. It was disappointing because by mile two I was actually feeling pretty good with my hr and legs and if my back hadn't been arguing with me then I bet I could've be much faster. Oh well...back to the massage therapist.
Post race
Warm down:

I downed a bottle of water and walked around while eating a banana. I had to get back home and didn't want to ride back up the hill to my car..so I made a b-line for transition to get my stuff and rode to the shuttle drop off. The short slow flat ride was enough to stretch my legs back out. I wasn't tight at all by the time I got back to the car.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I didn't build a good base in the spring. I knew this and I got the race I trained for.

Event comments:

I've said this before for this race but they should reverse the swim so we aren't swimming into the sun.

Age Group: 3/9
Overall: 181/391
Performance: Good
Suit: Desoto sleeveless
Course: The course was a triangle. On the way to the second buoy we were swimming into the sun so it was difficult to see the buoy. I had to actually stop and look around to find the buoy. I did this twice and I know I lost some time doing this..both by stopping and having to get momentum going again. I usually just follow the crowd when this happens..but this time my wave was so small that I didn't have many in front of me.

Performance: Average
Wind: Headwind
Course: The false flat on the way out was dismal. After fighting with it and not making much headway..I made myself a deal and kept my intensity moderately high and really took off on the way back. I hit 34 mph heading back into town and let myself get up to 37 on the 13% grade coming out of town. I usually slow way down on that hill..I hate it. I relaxed and just let go and took the brakes off half way down. I was pleased with my bike time. It's one of the fastest I've done on this course and I wasn't as far behind my friends as usual.
