Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 4:45, had a bannana and some coffee. Started coning at 5:30 and ate a pb sandwich at about 6am. Finished up before 7.
Saw Carol as I was walking down to the swim start, she come out to cheer people on.
Event warmup:

Rode just a little and ran maybe a mile. It was chilly out and I did not want to sweat then stand around waiting.

  • 820 yards

Comments:

Felt good on the swim, definately could feel the effects of schlepping 5 gallon water jugs around the day before. Tried to draft as much as possible.
What would you do differently?:

Not much, sighted well, swam hard.
Transition 1
  • 01m 36s
Comments:

Good transition, probably should have put the bike shoes on first instead of riding on top of them, lost some time getting into the shoes. Feet were a little cold so maybe that was it.
What would you do differently?:

Nada.
Bike

Comments:

Pretty strong headwind on 53, tailwind on the lake road. Headwind did not bother me as I'm used to riding at the beach where it's always windy.
Got passed by 3 in my AG, swapped the lead with one 2 or 3 times then tried to make sure that I could keep them in my sights and maybe chase them down on the run.
What would you do differently?:

Not much, decent bike for me.
Transition 2
  • 00m 59s
Comments:

Good transition, no problems.
Run
  • 21m 20s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 06m 52s  min/mile
Comments:

Great run for me, might be my best 5k in a race, if not it was pretty close. The weather was so cool did not sweat much. I saw John at the turn around, tried to hide and reel him in. He saw me and picked it up, I gave it what I had but missed by 10 seconds.
What would you do differently?:

Probably should have realized earlier in the run that there would be a tailwind on the return run. I could have pushed it harder on the first part and used the wind to my advantage on the second half. Felt great on the run though.
Post race
Warm down:

Grabbed some water and some orange slices, too cold to take a dip in the lake this weekend:)

Event comments:

Took a minute or so off of last years time, pretty happy considering that I was probably still a little tired from the half the previous weekend.
Love these two weekends, fun working and racing.

Great race!!!  That was an awesome run pace! Smile 

It was great to see you.  I missed your finish though.  I think it is harder to spectate than to race.  I was having trouble trying to keep up with everyone I was trying to watch!
