Pre-race routine:

My fiance, her little sister, and myself participated as a mixed relay. I got up at 5:30. We were about 30 minutes from White Lake. I had to wake them up and we got there at about 7:00. I didn't eat anything, my fiance had a cup of coffee and nothing to eat and her sister had a powerbar. I rode, she swam, and her sister ran.
Event warmup:

Walk around. This was our first triathlon.

This was her first triathlon and I think she did awesome for the conditions. It was nothing like we expected. All we ever heard was the lake was great to swim in because it was so calm. We never expected this.

It was a good coarse for me because it was pretty flat and I was super nerveous because I have never riddin more then 8 miles before. I was happy with my performance but look to improve greatly when I do my first individual sprint.

Event comments:

This was a great event and we all felt real good afterward and none of us were very tired so we are all excited to start training for individual sprint and see what we really do when we put all 3 together. We know it's going to be tough but we are excited to try.
