Pre-race routine:

Got up around 5:30 and had a coffee, a couple waffles and some oatmeal. Went to get my aero bottle and couldn't find it. Took me 20 mins to locate the darn thing. By the time I got things in the car and drove to the race site it was close to 7:30.
Event warmup:

By the time I got set up I didn't have much time left. I ended up running back to my car to get rid of some stuff and then ran back to the start line for the duathlon. I had some time left so I ran the opening 2k and by the time I was done I had already ran 4k.

It went amazing. The race site has me at 36kph but my garmin has 36.5kpm but I did start the garmin 20-30 seconds late. In all my other races I would just go all out in the bike but this time I decided to hold back and save some for the run. By the time I got back I had only been passed by three people and lost count of the ones I went by. So to find out I set my fastest bike speed in a race and not even give 100% was a HUGE suprise.
What would you do differently?:

Not one thing.
Transition 2
  • 00m 51s
Comments:

Took a few seconds to find my spot in transition.
What would you do differently?:

Remember where I rack my bike.

Comments:

A personal best in the 7k for me. This year I've pushed myself harder then ever in the final run. I started out running around a 3:20 pace and by the time I crossed the finish line I couldn't go under 4:00. I may have only been passed by three people.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Post race
Warm down:

Get a water and drink lots of gatorade.
