Pre-race routine:

Walked around freezing to find Amanda, Melanie, and Katie. Found them, and collectively froze. Drank some water and went for a warmup jog, then stood in the massive crowd (which was much warmer) to wait for the start.
Event warmup:

Just a light jog down Greenville to Lovers and back.

Comments:

Not bad. It took a good .5 mile to weave through the dense crowd, and even then it was still a little hectic. Even though I was shooting for 8 min/mile pace (which I beat), I'm still disappointed that I didn't end up going just a bit faster. I need more speed training if I expect to run this pace in a tri.
What would you do differently?:

More speedwork and more running.
Post race
Warm down:

Light jog with Amanda and her b/f followed with some green beer, lots of Guinness, flip cup, corned beef, pinata busting, and partying. Heck yeah St. Patty's Day!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of speedwork.

I agree....too many people in a small area. I expended more energy getting through the crowd than I did going up the hills on Southwestern.

Good job....and good time considering.
