Pre-race routine:

We stayed at the cabins at Prince William Forest Park - great cabins, beautiful park - noisy drunk neighbors. They kept us up until 3:30 am!! Got up at 5 and drove over to the race site. Blurry eyed and dazed!

Yuck - crowded hot water swim, poor line = slow swim!

Get some sleep the night before? I just felt tired & the more I worked the slower I got!

Fun bike, a little crowded but I only had really rude passers once when a guy squeezed by as I was passing someone & going 32 mph downhill. He was really close & didn't give me any warning.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, I really had fun on the bike and felt great. Got up to 38 mph on the downhill!
Transition 2
  • 01m 41s
Comments:

We reg. late so we were on the race w/ relay racers - they were hanging out and leaning on the rack in my spot paying no attention & even after I yelled (politley) they took their time. Took the time to put on socks for the run - glad I did that!
What would you do differently?:

nothing

  • 4.97 miles
  • 09m 07s  min/mile
Comments:

UUUUG - everybody passed me on the run. I was just SLOW! Nothing really wrong, just couldn't get my legs going. I don't think I went out too hard on the bike, I just think I was tired from the night's sleep (or lack of) and the bike the day before.
What would you do differently?:

Sleep the night before?!
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around w/ Paul, talked to Russ then helped break down (we get to race for free when we break down after the race) It's a good hour and a half to two hours of hard work but worth the $$ we save!!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of sleep, lack of speed work

Yikes, that's no fun being kept up by noisy neighbors, sorry that happened. You did have some serious fast times in transitions! Congrats finishing despite being up all night.
