Pre-race routine:

Listened to music to keep myself calm. I got there very early, around 4:50. Set up my transition which happened to be in an awesome spot. I went to get marked and just chilled until the start. As i was watching the chaos of everyone trying to set up their transition i ate some jelly bean things. This was my first race eating them and i really needed to take them with more water.
Event warmup:

Nothing to much. Got in the water and got used to the unusually warm temperature. I also did some light stretching just to get myself ready.

Comments:

Overall pretty good for me. I wanted under 2 min 100s but you cant get everything you want.
What would you do differently?:

I started out a little fast, but overall was good.
Transition 1

Comments:

Weird set up for ins and outs.
What would you do differently?:

not wash my feet as much as i did.

Comments:

Luckily I drove the course the night before because the hills were killer.
What would you do differently?:

give more at the end. I began to pedal out too early.
Transition 2
  • 00m 50s
Comments:

Went the wrong way because the ins and outs were all over the place.
What would you do differently?:

Run towards the run out instead of the bike out.
Run
  • 23m
  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 25s  min/mile
Comments:

I did not have a watch so i was about three minutes slower than normal. I have to thank the people who set up the mist. That was possibly the best thing I've seen in a race for a long time.
What would you do differently?:

I would run faster if i knew a pace. Normally i can keep good pace but with the hills i was thrown off.
Post race
Warm down:

Massage and some light stretching with lots of water. Watched all the other Race for Patch athletes come through the finish.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The run was my only limited performance. I needed my watch, of course, the one day i feel it is unnecessary.

Event comments:

Excellent race. Great coordinators. Allowed our team to have our own wave and area in transition that allowed us to race for my good friend Patrick Sievert.

Course: Uphill in the first half and down for the second. A little too complicated near the end. A few of the water stations were understaffed. Im not sure if they eventually had volunteers there or if they were more of a help yourself.
