Pre-race routine:

Up early for a quick breakfast and then relax until ready to leave for race. We stayed locally so it was only a couple of minutes away.

The event was modified from a tri to a duathlon due to the weather and threat of lightning. Got to say hi to a couple of friends including GreenMtnLabbit before the race.

First run/bike/run for me so I kept it easy not knowing how it would effect the rest of the race.

A wet T1, but easy since there was no wetsuit to strip.

Comments:

Held back a little starting out due to the weather. Once I was confident that there were no handling or traction issues I pushed a little harder, but definitely held back on curves and turns. Wasn't willing to risk a second crash in a month. :)
Overall very happy with the bike.

  • 01m 51s
Comments:

Wet shoes and socks are sticky.

Held the run back a little due to issues from a previous race, pushed the last mile a bit to make up some time and felt good.
Post race
Warm down:

Met up with GreenMtnLabbit and chatted for a while. Had some pizza, donuts, cookies. (maybe not in that order.)

Event comments:

I really enjoy the races that are put on by this organization. I love the location and the volunteers are great. I've now done 4 events there and they've all be fun. Thanks to GreenMtnLabbit for bringing this group to my attention!
