Warm down: A surprise -- I won Grand Masters! I'm definitely happy about my performance. Event comments: What a fun race! I'm new at this, but I think I can convince some of my friends that this is a race worth doing! Last updated: 2007-10-14 12:00 AM

Met up with Manatee Express (Ken) and his wife Marcy -- fabulous! Ken is my BT mentor from January, and this is my first year ever trying any tri's, so it was wonderful to actually meet him. He's given me lots of advice and it was great to race side by side with him (actually, it wasn't really side by side because he beat me!!) Also met Ken's buddies, and another BT'er Biseman (Matt). Since I'm still a "newbie" there is no real pre-race routine. But at least I figured out the course before hand, and somewhat knew what to expect. I drove the course the night before so I'd at least know the lay of the land -- like that bridge!!!!
A couple of stretches, but mostly a big bunch of nothing. I got there very early because of the nerves and not knowing what to expect, but then sat for awhile. I hadn't ever run and then jumped back on the bike, and ended up with calf cramps the whole way back, so I wonder what kind of warm up I could have done for that?
