Pre-race routine:

Left earlier this week and took a short cut. Still sat in some traffic but got there in plenty of time to warm up. It was pouring rain, so kind of hung around under the pavilon until the rain stopped anyway.
Event warmup:

got in a nice 6 to 8 minute jog.

sighted very well. Everything was going great until the last 50 yds. Ended up behind a zigzagger that was impossible to get around. Totally hosed me!
Transition 1
  • 01m 33s
Comments:

Thought i did better. looks pretty pathetic really.

Started out strong. Got up the first hill great. Ran out of steam after about 3.5 miles. After i made it up the big hill i just gave it everything i had for the rest of the course. My legs were burnin'!
Transition 2
  • 01m 31s
Comments:

Not a great transition. I ranked 112, but a lot of people use their running shoes on the bike. T2 time was about the same as T1, so i don't thing is was any worse than usual.
Run
  • 28m 30s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 09m 09s  min/mile
Comments:

Yay! I really didn't think i was going to be able to run after the bike effort. Started out running, calf cramp (again - argh!) walked for about 30 seconds and was able to jog it off. A girl passed me toward the beginning and i just kept up with her for about a mile. Then i had to pass her. Yes, i passed someone on the run. Actually a few people. Feels nice to pass. Not that there weren't plenty of other people passing me.
Post race
Warm down:

It was a total mudfest. Hosed off, hosed the bike off, showered. Then went out for a beer and some food with some fellow mudders.

Event comments:

Love it in the mud!
