Pre-race routine:

Fighting a sinus infection all week, so expectations were low from the beginning. Woke up, had waffles and coffee and off we went. Stopped for gas 45 minutes later and coughed so bad I puked all over the gas pump. Not a great start to the day
Event warmup:

Parked about a half mile a way and carried all the usual gear to the race site. Ran into the Donkey nation at the race. Got my chip and body marked and then tried to find a spot in transition. No luck- ended up having to rack my bike against a fence. The only problem is the fence was 3 feet into mulch, which made getting the shoe on tough.

Comments:

Started to swim and instantly had problems with the left goggle leaking. Because I race in contacts I was worried about losing it, so I had to stop and empty the left eye piece every few minutes. Overall the swim felt good.
What would you do differently?:

no clue why the goggles decided to leak today. They have been great in the pool all year
Transition 1
  • 02m 3s
Comments:

Exited the water and had a slight case of the wobbleys- Amy was at the swim exit (she was in a later wave), so I ran up to her and gave her a kiss- only to slip on my wetsuit and do a face plant- hand hurt for a while but the crowd enjoyed the antics. Had problems getting the suit off since my transition area was against the fence in the wood chips.

I'll take sub 9's after the hammer fest on the bike. Out and back course was great since you had a chance to see everyone on the run.

Event comments:

Easy course with great friends. I'm not a fan of races with open transition areas, but this seemed to be OK. Considering were I came from, I'm very happy with this performance.
