Pre-race routine:

Had to work 14 hrs on friday and didn't leave the restaurant until midnight so waking up was not the easiest thing but I finally got up @ 6:30 and headed towards Anthem.
Event warmup:

Trying to stay warm and wait for the start of the race. Saw Tanya, Chris and some other ESCKTC'ers always fun to run into them @ races. Tanya was master of the camera taking many pics.

Felt pretty good the whole time past three or four people in the pool, everybody was pretty cool and let me pass @ the wall.

bad bike ride. Every time I tried to fast my heart rate went through the roof. I didn't start to feel good until mile 10 or so. Poor bike rides continue to haunt random races for me.
What would you do differently?:

Pedal faster!

Comments:

Not bad. A little trouble getting my shoes tied, I need to get a pair of elastic laces again to not have that problem again. It was more annoying than anything not really a time issue.

Felt a little slow especially at first but started to feel better and better as the run went on.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Felt a little tired all morning long and a poor bike ride didn't help. It is still fun to go racing.

Event comments:

Fun day racing, great to see a cool group of people out racing, Amy got see her first race and had some people to talk to while I was out on the course. I love to go racing but its not the most interesting spectator sport, especially when its cold and windy.
