Pre-race routine:

Did a nice long 60mile hilly ride on Sat and a 2 mile pace run. Then road standup jetski for about 2 hours. Great pre race stuff! lol

Did normal setup with little pressure as I knew I was not allowed to push on the run goal was to keep HR is zone 2/3 so there was no way I could place very high.
Event warmup:

Nothing just stretched and tried to wake up my legs!

Comments:

Swim was a challenge as I was 4th to last in the OLY race to go off, so I had the slower OLY racers to get through then on my second lap the sprint racers were still coming in so some were flying and some we had to navagate around. Very good practice of draft/passing. Which I suck
What would you do differently?:

Not much I am so week at swimming I was pretty happy. I was going wetsuitless no matter what to prepair for IMKY
Transition 1

Comments:

Run was long since they actually had a "run"time to transistion then actual transition time. I was in no hurry due to described above run.
What would you do differently?:

I should have worn a speedsuit since putting on a race shirt is tough when your soaked.

Great race but the awards were about 1.5 hrs after the event was done. Everyone we were with did the sprint so they had to wait around for quite a while.

Wind: Little
Course: 5 laps with the sprint racers doing 3! wow talk about a cluster of bikes we were 7 wide all the time in the 1st few laps. Awsome course though as you get to drive down 315 a major highway! You feel like your flying until a car passes you at 70mph.
