I knew this course and so it was a bit easier for me. I did a5k there in the fall with the Bolder back roads marathon weekend. So I knew what the path ahead was

practice running in the heat.
Post race
Warm down:

walked around drank water and stayed in the shade

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I just need more experiece and more training. Considering my last tri was in 2006 and I was about 15 pounds heavier I cannot complain

Event comments:

I was really impressed with this event! The husband and wife who organize the Boulder series do a great job! I am wanting to go back next year! I also enjoyed being part of CWW and having them there. Coach Yoli rocks!
