Pre-race routine:

Got there an 1:30 early to get my packet and get set up. Talked to some friends for a while, ate most of a granola bar and drank a little pepsi.

In weather this cold, I wore my gloves, arm warmers, and tights over my regular tri outfit

Kept a pretty good pace. I walked only once and really shouldn't have. I've got to learn to push my self through those times better.

Have to work on cornering - was way too conservative on them. Road too hard the day before and legs were sore. I got them to work, but on any little rise and into the headwind, it hurt
