Pre-race routine:

Watched my 8 year old complete his first Tri Friday night- it was awesome. Saturday AM was an 0330 wake up, peanut butter sandwich and a 2 hour drive. Set up transition , talked with a few parents from the night before and mentally prepared for the race.

I've been using an old waterskiing wetuit since I continue to lose weight and don't want to invest in a tri wetsuit until the weight stablized a little more. I cut the arms off and it worked much better.
Event warmup:

Swam 2-300M as a warm up. The water was great.

Transition times were not measured. T1 took me a little while when my shirt got stuck on my wet back.

  • 0.00 mile/hr
Comments:

Tried a chocolate gel on the bike. Bad idea. It just sat in my mouth. Way too sweet. Bike was fast for me but felt really slow for some reason.

However, I did manage to thank each volunteer that I passed on the course.
What would you do differently?:

no gel

Comments:

great day for a jog. The run felt great. Came upon another racer in an Army tri suit that was walking with cramps. When I ran past him I asked if he was going to let an Navy runner pass him. He began to run with me for a mile or so which helped to pass the time. I did manage to beat him :)
Post race
Warm down:

Found Kids, hung out and chatted with other racers. Ran into other tri addicts and hed the " which race to do next" discussion. Perhaps Devils Lake on Sept 17th. Also had great discussion re: best place to watch IMMOO in a few weeks.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

the engine

Event comments:

Small YMCA tri- cheap but well run. Great attitude by the race director and the staff. I'll do this one again next year.
