Pre-race routine:

I got up at 4:30 and had oatmeal, banana, and granola with water and gatorade. Then I got dressed.
Event warmup:

I hung out with the multisport group before heading down to the water. the day was beautiful! It started to rain right before my wave began.

Not my best swim. I got a little woozy and seasick.
What would you do differently?:

not get sick.
Transition 1

Comments:

I forgot to make sure my bike gloves weren't inside out. That cost me about 4 minutes because I was wet and it was rainy. Other than that, transition was fine.
What would you do differently?:

make sure my bike gloves were right-side out.

Comments:

I'm not a fast biker, so this was good for me. The women went first this year, and I didn't like that because I got passed so much.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Get better bike muscles, I guess.

Comments:

The fact that it wasn't 90 degrees really helped this year! I didn't feel sick at all and had fun. My left leg started cramping around mile 11, so I kind of had to slow, but this was good for me. I'm not a fast runner.
What would you do differently?:

nothing.
Post race
