Got maybe 3-4 hours of decent sleep as I was keyed up despite being dead tired. Anyway, enough whining..I made some progress this race. I ate a bigger breakfast (Denny's Grand Slam as pre-race food rocks!), drank Gatorade during the race, and that seems to be good for me, at least at this distance. I'll need more for the half. My swim's coming along; I'm still no speedster but the Master's workouts are *definitely* helping.
