Pre-race routine:

With all the rain, I couldn't set up my transition area in the normal manner. Ended up running transition from my duffel bag.
Event warmup:

Stretched and tried to stay warm in the cool weather. Ended up getting cold. Had to hide out in the locker room/bathroom to stay warm. Couldn't wait for swim to start because it was so cold.

Event didn't time transitions. Seem to be merged with Bike.

What would you do differently?:

I wish the event tracked time correctly for the bike so I can know how fast I really went.

Comments:

Legs felt like weights with the water logged shoes and tired from the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Next time I need to prep with more brick workouts. My legs were just tired this morning.
Post race
Warm down:

It was nice to get a photo with the event coin.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Need to prep more on swim and brick run workouts. These are my weak events.

Event comments:

Great swag for this event. Nice shirt and a purple workout towel that was worth the entry. Also, the ability to do an event on the Marine Corp base was very nice.

Well done event by the MCM organizers.
