Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 4:30a.m. Not much energy and pretty much had to drag my donkey azz out of bed. Had my normal PB & Bagel..kwik trip coffee and banana. Wasn't feeling real excited at all about doing a DU.
Event warmup:

Not much for a warmup except for a little bit of stretching and standing in line for 30 minutes waiting to pee. I figured out why I like the tris so much...you can pee in your wetsuit!! Chatted with Craig, Djdavey, Scooby and JmWebs.

WINDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never seen so many crashes at a sprint before. I think it was a combination of the wind and sooo many people. Hit the hills pretty hard...did I mention it was friggen WINDY! I was overall pleased with the bike portion considering the conditions.

WIND!

Event comments:

Probably would not do this race again for a couple of reasons. Very unsecure transition area and way to many people for the amount of space they had. Not enough porta potties and I was not happy I had to start this race out running. Would have rather gone swimming. Of course had a blast with all the BTers.
