Pre-race routine:

Maggie and I stayed over at the La Quinta. Great room, but the people next to us were noisy,so I didn't get a lot of sleep. Ate a cliff bar and drank a powerade. Ate a banana before the race started.
Event warmup:

stood around in the hot and humid air.

Comments:

We did not have a lot of notice before the swim start. I was sandwiched between two people as I was swimming. I moved over and found clearer water. this was probably my roughest swim. I got hit in the head several times.
What would you do differently?:

Better placement at the beginning.

Took a little bit to get clipped in.

Comments:

I probably could have pushed a little harder on the uphills or maybe stayed in a little harder gear. I was 47 seconds slower than last year which is a little disappointing.
What would you do differently?:

Push harder

  • 01m 58s
Comments:

Maybe I should get some quick laces.

  • 4.4 miles
  • 11m 23s  min/mile
Comments:

I brought a water bottle with me which was a great idea.

Maybe run a little more instead of taking a full minutes/2 minute walk break.
Post race
Warm down:

n/a

What limited your ability to perform faster:

heat and conditioning on the run

Event comments:

This is a good, small town race. If they raced the price, I would expect a little more amenities.
