Pre-race routine:

Got up and drove over to race site from my dad's house in Bailey. Ate a power bar and drank water and gatorade.
Event warmup:

Got all my stuff. Ran to the end of the road and back. Rode bike about a mile to set and check gears. Swam about 100 yards out and back.

Everything went perfectly for me in this swim. Swimming is my strong suit, but this was unbelievable for me! Great water, no crowding.
What would you do differently?:

Hope I can have a repeat performance sometime!

Comments:

Great transition for me. I don't do bike shoes, so I gotta put on shoes. This time, I was able to run out of the water and wasn't so beaten down I had to walk.

I need to get over my fear of falling and get some bike shoes and pedals. I'm afraid of being clipped in, but I need to get over it. My legs were exhausted at the end of the ride.

This is where not having bike shoes helps!

I cannot figure out how to drink water and run without coughing. It was hot and I really needed water!
What would you do differently?:

Drink!
Post race
Warm down:

Well, I ran over the the grass and puked and stumbled around. I really pushed myself, but it was worth it! LOL I finally drank sprite and ate a hotdog and recovered. I need to learn to drink and run!

Event comments:

Thanks for everyone who helped out! I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. I also like the camo socks! I'll sport them at my next race. Very organized and well-run. I think more people should sign up, they're missing out!
