Pre-race routine:

Spent the night at the Drury Inn in Columbia. Woke up at 0545, had a banana and peanut butter. Sipped on some HEED till the race start.
Event warmup:

The usual dynamic stretching/warm up routine starting about 45min before race. x4 400m jogs. Decent sweat going.

Felt good thru the run.
What would you do differently?:

Looking back after the fact I should have held up a bit more.

Comments:

Felt good, but it wasn't when compared to the field.
What would you do differently?:

More practice, and the purchase of non-buckle shoes would be a help.

As windy as it was, it was good to see some of the indoor-winter training paying off.

Only had 5 outdoor rides (96miles) before race.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Felt a lil winded during T2.

Comments:

Not happy. Was hoping at no worse than a 7:15pace. Coming out of T1 my hamstrings were extremely tight. Started to loosen up later in the race just as I hit the up-hill finish.
What would you do differently?:

Only had 3 bricks coming into race. MORE BRICKS.
Post race
Warm down:

Pizza and H2O.

Event comments:

This was my first race ever last year. Shaved 4:45min off last years result, so I am happy overall.

I really need to clean up my transitions and get stronger on the 2nd run.
