Pre-race routine:

Got up early and had cereal and fruit for breakfast. Drank coffee on the way over there. Was early so got a good parking spot. Talked to a lot of the participants. That helped to keep me focused
Event warmup:

Yoga in the morning to stretch out.
Some stretching once I got to the race.

Comments:

Starting out on a hill is very difficult. Strong head wind going out. Coming back the wind was at my back but I almost bonked on a hill on Idalia. I was struggling to keep going and ended up stopped on the hill... it took me a few precious seconds to get back on the bike and get going.
What would you do differently?:

I need to build up my quads and hamstrings. I just lost steam. Practice on hills more.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My muscles on the bike ride gave out on a hill going back to the finsih

Event comments:

We did this as a team. Elaine ran, Patricia swam, and I biked.
