Pre-race routine:

Got up at 8 and walked to the site with my dog to pick up my start up kit. This is my home race. I live half a mile from the site and the run passes my house twice.
Came back after breakfast, checked in my bike and had to run home as I'd forgotten my towel. No stress, I had plenty of time. I used this as my warm up. Got in the water 5 minutes before start to get used to the water and swim a few yards.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I have only started training seriously in June this year. With more training I know I can go faster.


Event comments:

My 6th sprint and the first one I really trained hard for and gave it all during the race. 10- 15 minutes faster than my previous times. Very happy. Maybe THIS time I'll get hooked!
