Chilly enough I didn't drink any water at any of the aid stations. Shorts + long arms were perfect so no need to shed clothing.

Faster!
Post race
Warm down:

So much food at the end of this race. Got some choco milk, an apple and a cup of coffee, and took some yogurt tubes+powerade home.

Then found the fam and ate Arby's!


What limited your ability to perform faster:

Mental, cardio. Legs felt fine - rode 30k to work next morning.


Event comments:

Fantastic race - now that it's at Chinook (a huge mall) it's not such a gong show as when it was downtown.

Performance: Good
Left my HR strap at work. Kept pace between 3:55 and 4:10 - last lap under 3:55. Passed a lot of faders, only passed a couple times.
Course: New course this year, from Chinook north on MacLeod then west into Mission then back along Elbow. Lots of hills which caught many off guard.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
