Pre-race routine:

Up at 5 am, banana, toast, some juice and a little coffee on the drive to the site. Only took about 30 minutes

Air temp was cool so the water felt nice during a short warmup. Swam out the first marker and back. Had an old tee shirt that I put on until our wave started.

Not a bad swim for me. Just need to keep training so I can go faster. Good sighting and stayed on course. Felt stronger after making the turn towards shore. Great temperature and conditions.
What would you do differently?:

More pool time and drills to get faster

Good transition running up the bank and through the grass to transition. About a 1/4 mile run. Passed a few people along the way

Felt good on the bike. Thought I would aveage over 20 mph. Guess it was the slowing up in and out of the road to transition.
What would you do differently?:

Pedal faster

Good transition. Gluing the innersoles to the shoe really help. No bunching up as I slipped wet feet in. Made the transition faster.

Warm down:

Little bit of stretching talking to friends.

Just need to train more and faster

Event comments:

Setup does a nice job. Kind of limited with the venue space. Hopefully that will improve when the park makes improvements. Will be back next year.
