Pre-race routine:

Up early, had breakfast at my campsite then the free pancake breakfast at the event site

Event warmup:

some pedalling around and taking in the sights

Bike

Comments:

Used nearly 2 full camelbaks, Not sure how to develop a strategy for Branson from this. I guess take bottles and use the handups

What would you do differently?:

not much. The fact that I finished feeling good, and could probably have put in a good run if I wanted to reassured me

Post race

Warm down:

Change shirts, watch the parade start and parachute landing then break camp and go home

What limited your ability to perform faster:

IT was hot and I have been off my training a bit for a couple of weeks

Event comments:

A nice small town atmosphere, having the rally correspond with the 4th activities added an extra touch to the whole thing
