Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 4, ate some breakfast bread, hit the road. Stopped for my morning caffeine. Found a parking spot.
Event warmup:

Went to my bike, that's when I heard that the swim was cancelled. So all of this angst goes out the door! But then a little sadness. Gotta tough it out sometime.

Comments:

Don't ever rent a bike with cages. Use your bike clips, you get more power. Did I take that advice. hell no. So I was slow. Well I am slow to begin with.
What would you do differently?:

Rent a bike with bike clips.

Why am I slow? Because I don't practice enough. I should be happy that I averaged what I average on the trainer!
What would you do differently?:

Train, practice, anything.

Too much run/walk. I was really tight and I didn't feel good. A little disappointed in this but I did it and I can't take it back.
What would you do differently?:

Train longer distances!
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around. Got a nice cold towel. Drank some water. Went to cheer on some people at the end.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

First, my head. Second, my training. Third, my head!

Event comments:

Beside the fact that this wasn't my race, I still had a good time. The family wasn't there because I wasn't sure when my wave would start without the swim so that was a little bit of a bummer. This is such a good atmosphere. Triathlons are a good atmosphere in general and no matter my time, I still finished so I can still ask what the rest of the world did on Sunday!
