Pre-race routine:

Stayed overnight in Canmore. It was nice that I didn't have to do the 2hr drive race morning.

Had a bowl of Vector Cereal about 2hrs prior to race start. Then just tried to keep my hydration up with half and half Water and Gatorade mix.
Event warmup:

Had fun with my family!

A little bit of a challenge, but I think I did well for my first Trail Run.

Find an unpaved trail to do a couple of practice runs on.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not sure I think I just need to do some interval speed drills for the run and bike.

Lots of fun and really family oriented. We all had a great time even though I was the only one racing.

It was a fun race. I will be adding some trail running into my plan as well. I struck quite a few roots and things along the golf course.
