Pre-race routine:

Spent week dealing with a stomach bug.

On Friday, drove half a day to Phoenix. Room was cancelled, Hotel reportedly notified Expedia previous day of incident causing partial closure. Expedia failed to notify or reaccomidate customers. Finally found another room.

Saturday: picked up race packets, took the Mrs. to the Outlet mall, resumed battle with stomach bug, gave bikes final check-over.

Sunday: feeling alright, eat a McGriddle, drove to race sight.
Event warmup:

Light jogging and some stretching.

Warm down:

Walked around. Ate.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Being sick during the week. Not eating do to lack of appetite.

Event comments:

Flat, fast course. Times were an improvement over last year's races. Didn't have a lot of energy due to recent illness and figure the flats and lower altitude were the major influence on my times.

Exceeded my goal; finished 10 minutes faster than planned.

I would recommend this race to new and first time triers. Event also featured a kids race and Duathlon. Very family oriented.
