Pre-race routine:

This race was part of a larger training weekend that began in Phoenix the day before and ended back in Phoenix Sunday afternoon. 254 total miles of travel, 210 by bike, 13 running, and 1 swimming.
Event warmup:

Up early for coffee and taxi to SHS, then walked from hotel to race start. Stand and shiver.

Having ridden 105 miles up the hill from Phoenix on Friday, my legs were a bit tired and took quite a while to warm up - I would guess about 3 miles to feel good...

Comments:

Started with no expectations on time, just to get the long-ish run in for the weekend. By 5 miles I decided I had enough to push the pace on the return and chased down some friends. Pushed the pace under 7:45 between miles 10 and 13, ending with a smile on my face.
What would you do differently?:

First half over 2:00:00, so a bit disappointing that it will go on my permanent record, but thems the breaks...
Post race
Warm down:

Cruised around town, showered, lunch on the courthouse lawn followed by a trip to the bike store and 2000 meters in the pool at the YMCA.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Tired legs from 7+ hours in the saddle on Friday and the thought that I was going to spend 6+ hours in the saddle on Sunday...
