Pre-race routine:

couldn't get oatmeal at Ivy Diner, had Special K with fresh strawberries, oj, coffee, and 1 toasted bagel with butter.
Event warmup:

among first 5 to rack their bikes, listened to music, had a good 200m swim warm up, prepared me for the sea weed at the finish. Did some 1 arm x 6, 2 arms x 6, then some fist swims.

Comments:

could feel the lack of hill training and some fatigue from running the past two weeks. I had good cadence until I lost my Garmin. Generaly 75+.

Wonder if I had a more steady pace on hills, would I have more juice for the flats . . . often I pass people on the hills who in turn pass me on the flats.

Only more hill training will tell the story.
What would you do differently?:

funny, when I look at the same course I did in June, I am slightly faster this time . . .

Comments:

started faster since I was more familiar with the course, reminded myself that these legs were made to run with all the half marathon training I've been doing. When's the last time I got to do a simply 3 mile run?
What would you do differently?:

nothing
