Pre-race routine:

My bed looked so good. Felt pretty crappy this morning, ate some oatmeal drank some water and had a long shower. Looked at the warm bed some more but got into my race clothes and off I went.
Event warmup:

Tried riding around on the MTB a bit in the snow, ran for a bit.

Comments:

Started out a bit fast maybe, felt really bad the first half mile or so, then settled into a stride. At the end of the run I had a blazing headache like my head was about to explode.
What would you do differently?:

Start a little easier but not much.
Transition 1

Little difficult to buckle the helmet, which actually came loose later on.

Comments:

Combines the two bike segments. On the first bike I started easy to soothe the headache a bit. Bike1 13:06 overall rank 43.
Bike2 25:02 overall rank 45.
What would you do differently?:

Slightly disappointed with my overall ranking on the bike. Push harder next time.

Comments:

Disappointing, I felt I was running much better than 64 overall rank and just under a 9min pace. I felt strong, did not get passed and did pass a number of guys... :(
What would you do differently?:

Push harder!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Of course it was snowy and slippery but that was the same for all. Did not feel to healthy today.

Event comments:

Just a fun race. I like it how flexible they are adjusting and changing it all around based on the weather conditions. Everyone always seems to have a great time.

I met a bunch of BT-ers which was very cool.
