Pre-race routine:

Up at 5; PB on whole grain; banana. Got everything ready and headed to transition. Found out that the weather conditions on the water was terrible and that they had canceled the swim portion, making this a simple Du. Set up transition and milled around.

Nutrition was spot on. Took a Gu about 30 min into the race, and took a sip of Accelerade every 100 kJ or so.
What would you do differently?:

Start training more with power now that I know my knee is able to handle the stress.

Comments:

Ran with another individual (dave wilson/Atlanta) and he and I kept each other moving. We spent more time chatting than focusing on running, which is a slight part of the total run time.
What would you do differently?:

Nada. Running with someone is better than running alone.
Post race
Warm down:

walking around; stretching under a tree, icing the knee

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of speed training

Event comments:

Overall, a good race. I'll try to come back in the future and get the open water ocean swim behind me.
