Pre-race routine:

Had a Strawberry/Banana Protein Shake. Also learned I had a flat tire before the race. This was after I change the flat the night before. I put a new tire on and learned it pushed my tire out which can dangerously close to falling out of fork. Need to get fixed!
Event warmup:

None, just a little soft stretching.

I chose to go for efficency oppose to muscle. Use a lower gear to save legs for run.
What would you do differently?:

Pushed a little harder. I wanted to average 18mph.

Comments:

I felt like this was a good transition.

Started to feel cramps set in at beginning of run. I ran conservative until I felt like the cramp would not come on.

Probably drink more water and not sprint to bike finish.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

I need to bike more. Running has improved but need to get biking hours in!
