Comments: Made the critical mistake of starting out too fast and eventually got burned out in the end. My goal pace was sub-8. I ran the first 13 miles at a 10 seconds faster pace. Ultimately I should have started out the race at an 8:15 or so pace. But the adrenaline got the best of me and the last 5-6 miles I was depleted. Looking back I didn't drink enough fluids and ran out of electrolytes, something I plan to really get straight for the next tri season. What would you do differently?: Start out slow and build my pace throughout. It was a huge detriment to my pace, and I would have rather finished the race strong and feeling better rather than hurt and very frustrated. Post race
Warm down: Sat on a chair in the rain for awhile and ate and drank a few items. What limited your ability to perform faster: Going out toooooooo fast! Last updated: 2008-12-15 12:00 AM

Woke up at 4:45AM. Got a shower. Had some breakfast (Grape Nuts and a banana). Left the house at 5:45 and arrived in Baltimore around 6:45.
Race start was at 8AM. So about 7:15 I started my warm up. Just a few quick minutes of light jogging and some strides. Then hit the bathroom one more time.
