Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 4:00am and packed the car. Had some eggs and a couple of eggos with coffee. We hit the road by 5:00 and got there at a little after 6:00. Picked up our packets and set up our transitions.
Event warmup:

Ran a couple of miles to get the legs loosened up and then put on my wetsuit and hit the water.

Third time trying to get into my shoes while riding and it went OK. I need to practice it a bit more though.

I got my HR up a bit too high right out of the gate, but the big hill kinda made that hard to control.
What would you do differently?:

Not much, it felt good.
Transition 2
  • 00m 51s
Comments:

My running shoes have a bad habit of colapsing at the heal when I put them on. It takes me a second to fix it before I take off.
What would you do differently?:

Focus on getting my shoes on without crushing the heal of my shoes.

Post race
Warm down:

Not much, put up the bikes and gear and waited for the results.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My run... everything else felt good but the run felt like crap.

Event comments:

I won't do this race again simply because of the hills on the run. It was completely above and beyond what ANYONE would expect in a tri.
