Pre-race routine:

Light stretching before leaving hotel. Breakfast; 1 1/2, Bob Evans biscuits.

At the race site, I discovered I had forgotten my two water bottles for the bike segment. Had to drive back to the hotel for them with just 40 minutes before the start of the race. Stressful......I made it back in time for the start of the race.

Comments:

I was progressivly getting hotter as I ran. My HR was going up and I was running slowly. By the time I reached the 3.1 mile turn around my HR was in the 160's. After reaching the 3.1 mile turn around I began a run and walk routine which I continued to the finish line. I was pretty much cooked and could no longer run an extended period of time. Temps by this time were in the low 80's and it was sunny.
