Pre-race routine:

Met up with my relay team pre-race and hung out at the ONE Multisport tent. As I was taking on the run portion, I had a LONG wait ahead of me.
Event warmup:

Did not do much of anything until a little before my run came up, then stretched in the transition area while I waited for our cyclist.

Comments:

This was a HOT run. The wind was blowing slightly at the start, then it dies out and the second loop was all heat. I did not have my legs under me, and this could have been partially due to the long wait I had before my turn to perform.
What would you do differently?:

Be a bit more prepared for the long wait before my part of the race.
Post race
Warm down:

Hung out with my team in the ONE Multisport tent

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The heat, lack of preparation, over-training

Event comments:

Another good Red Rock event, but as has happened a few times, it started later than scheduled.
