Pre-race routine:

woke up around 7:15, showered and got dressed in the gear I had laid out the night before. Sleeveless base layer, long sleeve 2nd layer and a jogging jacket that I like. Tri shorts, cycling pants (without a chamois). Stopped on the way to the race to grab my favorite pre-race or pre-workout breakfast. Starbucks Oatmeal with Brown Sugar. YUM!!! Drove in with hubby and daughter, picked up chip and got ready to roll.
Event warmup:

some light jogging followed by stretching and hugs from my girl.

Comments:

I had trained and had hoped to stay with my training plan. I started out from the start with a jog, which is a departure from my normal start. I jogged until I was winded, and slowed to a walk. From that point, I alternated with a 1/1 jog/walk and stayed within myself. In previous races, I would try to stay within sight of someone and there pacing would be different and I would gas myself. I am very pleased with my race and my time.
What would you do differently?:

TRAIN MORE!!
Post race
Warm down:

Stretching and walking. More stretching and more walking.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of training and being sick.

Event comments:

Loved this race and the organization was great!!! Hope they continue this race in the coming years under a different name. Great course and a good challenge.
