Pre-race routine:

Got there early and got an end spot on the rack. Talked to Mountainbreeze and others about the race. Swam about 100 yards to warm up. Decided to have a go today w/o the wetsuit and see what the difference was.
Event warmup:

Swam about 100 yds.

Comments:

Went w/o the wetsuit tonight. Felt good for the whole swim, found a great pair of feet to draft off of and I think that helped. Came out of the water about a minute slower than last week, but totally rested and ready to go.
What would you do differently?:

Try wetsuit again next time.

Decided to try the Peter Reid test this week. Take it easy on the bike and hammer the run. The bike felt really good, not a crazy effort and was able to stay aero quite a bit. Rob and I kept passing each other, I think his new bike might be illegal. :)

Avg. HR 158
What would you do differently?:

Nothing

T2 went smoothly, got bike racked and helmet and shoes off no problem and was able to get running shoes on and tied w/o incident this time.

Nothing

Comments:

Legs felt great getting off the bike. The Peter Reid experiment definitely works. However, do not use a different race nutrition than you are used to in training. I used LL gatorade during the bike and I think it caused me to get a side stitch to where I had to walk a bit (maybe 45-60 seconds). Once I got rid of the stitch I was able to pick up the pace and really fly.

Avg. HR 169
Post race
Warm down:

Drank Enurox R4, rest of gatorade and H2O. Talked to other competitors and discussed the race.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Cramp during the run.

Event comments:

This is a great training race w/ a nice laid back atmosphere!!

I'll say you flew on the run... I had all I could do to keep that orange race uniform of yours in sight!

It was good hooking up with you, Dave. Great race!

Oh, and thanks for taking it easy on the bike... that was a BLAST going back-and-forth! Of course, my wife thought you should have let me come in first. LOL!
