Pre-race routine:

My club hosts this event, so I got to help park cars.
Event warmup:

Rand back and forth to car to grab long sleeve shirt because it was a bit cooler than I expected

Decided on the way to the event that I should be able to do a 7:15 pace, so I was happy with 6:55. Started pretty quick with the lead group and slowed down after about a mile.

Screwed around trying to put on gloves, but after fumbling with them for a bit decided to skip it. Then forgot to throw on my helmet. The gloves were a last minute thought before the race, so just threw me off I guess.

Felt fresh off the bike. Plan for this portion was 7:30 pace, so this was great. About a hundred feet to the finish I heard foot steps coming from behind, so had to pick it up for a bit and just barely beat the guy. Fun way to finish.
Post race
Warm down:

Grabbed a beer and walked around for a bit.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I didn't train for this distance, so if I specialize a bit more I can probably do better. Since I came close to placing, I may focus on it a bit more next year.

Event comments:

For me this was a fantastic race. The distance and terrain is perfect for my training levels. Long enough where it wasn't an all out sprint, but short enough I was able to push the whole time. The post race stuff was great. Pizza, tacos, beer, music, and good friends.
