Pre-race routine:

breakfast early oatmeal, banana and coffee. Not a particularly good breakfast. just using this as a training run for my Olympic next week. This was a club chase for fun.
Event warmup:

arrived early. Set up transition. Had to go find a camp warden to open up the washrooms. Really needed the washroom. Quick run after

Good swim. Time unknown as we submitted our estimated times before the race and no timing equipment was allowed on anyone or their bikes.

T-1 went great. had shoes already on bike. Didn't wear any socks. much quicker transition thn in previous races. This was the first time I did a race without socks and went well.

Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Got back to the dismount line and was advised the race had been canceled by the park officials. Apparently it was OK for us to do a practice race for the club but because we were organized and were timing it they decided we could not continue. What a bunch of BS. Said screw it and went ahead and did my transition and went out for my run anyways. The transition itself went well. ditched the bike and helmet. donned the shoes and headed out as if a real race anyways.

felt comfortable through the run. didn't push it as I knew we were not timing it anymore.

Event comments:

If the conservation authority hadn't stopped the race we would have had a great club event.
Overall I finished 12 minutes ahead of my estimated time wthich lead to everyone thinking I had sandbagged my time. The good thing about the race was that the winner was based on finishing closest to their estimatae time. I think I would have qualified for the "Shoe of Shame" for being one of the farthest out.
