Pre-race routine:

Got to the park and helped out a bit. After Tom finished building the bike racks, I helped place them and racked my bike. Got my transition area together and chatted with club members I haven't seen since last year.
Event warmup:

Didn't really warm up since I ended up manning the registration table. First time we are USAT sanctioned, so reg. took a bit longer.

Comments:

A lot more people here for the race this year. Got swam over and got stuck a little bit. When I tried to get out from all the people, my navigation suffered a bit. I sighted and got back on track to round the buoy well. Swim back was a bit crooked but then I was sighting the pavillion well. Overall not too bad.
What would you do differently?:

just do more races to learn how to draft properly and stay in the mix.

Comments:

I smashed my finger reracking my bike, but other than that T2 went well. The time is a guess, since I forgot to hit my watch.
What would you do differently?:

Not bruise my finger

Warm down:

Well, I was going to put my bike on my car as a cool down, but Alicia made me run a mile. There you go Barbara, you have all your people looking after me.

Event comments:

I love this club and this race series. The people in this club rock and it makes it really fun to do this series. :)
