Train better, for one thing. Wake up on time, for another. Drink lots of water before the race! (I only drank half a thing of gatorade)

Warm down:

Walked around and ate a chocolate chip cookie, drank water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not being acclimated to warm weather, inadequate hydration and nutrition pre-race, thousands of people to weave through.

Event comments:

I will do this one again next year to prove I can do it faster...I know I can do better and I will prevail over this course!!!!!!!!!!! 2006 look out.

Congratulations on the finish.  This was my first mini and I also enjoyed it and will look forward to next year.  I saw that you are planning on doing the Logansport Tri in June.  There are several of us doing that this year.  I did this one last year as my first tri ever.  Very friendly and a fun course, you should enjoy it.  Good luck at the River City.
