Pre-race routine:

Had this on my schedule but didn't sign up since training had been sporadic due to neck/spine injury. Decided to run it when I found out length was 2/15/2. Bro came down from Dallas for his first race so that made it more fun.

Coffee and Gatorade pre beforehand.
Event warmup:

Quick jog to warm up before transition closed

Comments:

Started fast with rest of wave, slowly fell back. HR built steadily from 165-185, still need more conditioning/endurance. Good overall pace for me!
What would you do differently?:

More run training.

Comments:

Averaged 18.1 mph (16:30/5 miles) on first two loops, fell to 16.9 mph (17:50) on last loop. HR fell whole ride, maybe I didn't push as hard as I should have, but really felt beat on last loop.
What would you do differently?:

Train more, hadn't ridden in 3 weeks.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not enough/consistent training.
