Comments:

My feet were cold from the bike and they felt like stumps for the first 1.5 miles. Started out pretty slow. Stayed with Tim Sandell on the hill and passed him at the top. Stayed steady. Passed lots of people in front and was on the last hill finish and some dude out sprinted me to the finish. He was in the 3 wave so I ended up beating him by 3 minutes. Legs were feeling sore at mile 2. Decent race considerint I have not ridden the bike since IMAZ. Pace was slow.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Long transition. Had to rack the bike then run like 1/4 mile to the timing mat. Caught Sandell here really as we got off the bike at the same time and he started 1 wave ahead of me. Took off my gloves and coat here too.

Event comments:

For the money $70 bucks for the series. You can't beat it. We got Sweat pants for entering the series. Then I won a $25 dollar gift certificate into another one of their races, can of heed, racing underground beanie, mint girl scout cookies and a good time. Nice to talk with Drewulu! 3 perfect weather races in the winter. Wow, not one race with snow. Today was the coldest one at 45 degrees today.
