Pre-race routine:

Got to the race site in plenty of time to grab race packet and get set in transition. I did the race this year with all 3 of my daughters, so a lot of time was spent pre-race working with them on setup, running through the gears on the bike, etc. We also made it a point to watch the swimmers at the start of the race ... and wow - these guys were fast :)

With 3 daughters racing along with me this time, we all tried to exit transition together. So we took plenty of time to make sure we had everything, and were ready to go before saddling up.

Rode with the 3 daughters and the bike leg was probably their least favored of the 3 sports ... my best though. We tried to ride together and have fun.

Again, we were in no hurry ... we wanted to exit transition together, make sure we had everything, were set, et al.

Event comments:

Setup does a nice job to organize and run the race in an organized manner. Plenty of volunteers are on hand and they stick to the script, make sure swimmers start s planned, check each participant's number on the bike against their markings when the race is over to prevent stealing someone else's bike, etc.

The 3 daughters and I had a ball, and I was so proud of these and how well they did, especially given their training levels prior to the race.
