Pre-race routine:

well, its been quite a week. i almost didn't race, but last night decided i would go ahead and do it. couldn't find my tri suit and threw together my stuff at the very last minute. i didn't sleep well last night and felt dead tired this morning. had some kashi and some coffee. got a ride w/ tom from the tri team.
Event warmup:

met up w/ fellow bt'ers and county tri folk and milled around. did a little stretching and a little swimming.

Comments:

my bike has been my home lately...so i just smiled and enjoyed the ride. tried not to look at my computer at all...just passed one person after another. one person passed me right out of t1, but i caught him w/in a mile. 2/170 gender!!!!
What would you do differently?:

nothing...well, strap my aero bottle down right. the velcro was turned the wrong way, so i had to keep messing with it to keep it from popping off.

Comments:

i'm really surprised by this run. the run is my weakness, and i haven't been running much this month at all. i just tried to settle into a comfortable pace. didn't check my times, but it did seem like i was getting passed by fewer people than normal. 37/170 gender
What would you do differently?:

nothing.
Post race
Warm down:

found some of the tri team folks and cheered for the bt folk. found out results. thought i had 4th, but that was w/ the elites mixed in. beat 4 of the 7 elites on the bike. woo hoo!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of sleep, DOMS from roller girl try outs, and a hell of a stressful week.
