Frankenmuth MI, Michigan
United States
65F / 18C
Sunny

Total Time = 24m 14s
Overall Rank = 215/877
Age Group = 24-29F
Age Group Rank = 7/57

Pre-race routine:

Packed up the car for the weekend, loaded up the dogs and drove to Frankenmuth. Ran into a little traffic and didn't realize the parking was a decent walk from the registration area. Pretty much had just enough time to get settled. We walked the dogs to registration and ran into Trixie. Hit the portapotty on the way in, got our stuff and walked the dogs back to the car.

Event warmup:

Did another final jog back to race start and had one more bathroom break.

Comments:

Pretty good. A PR for me, but I was hoping to win a stein! Last year this time in this age group would've done it, but this year I would've had to be 3 min. faster - yikes!

What would you do differently?:

Scope out the course ahead of time to figure out distances.

Post race

Warm down:

Walked back to car to retrieve dogs, split the bbq chicken dinner with Eric, and hung out with Trixie to check out her 1st place Age Group stein - sweet!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Almost zero speedwork this year for IM training, but still had a PR.

Event comments:

Will do this one again!
