Pre-race routine:

Didn't need to do much. Time trial start line was less than 2 miles from my house! Got up, had some coffee, stretched, biked to race site to register (and begin warmup) and get my sendoff time, rode back to my house for the inevitable potty routine and more stretching.

Had to wear arm and leg warmers, plus those brand-new toe warmers Bob bought for me (LOVE them!)
Event warmup:

Multiple trips to and from my house, plus one loop around the circuit.

Comments:

Wasn't sure I'd even get out of bed for this race. Rode 27 miles yesterday, have been having trouble with my jaw (so solid food intake is a little tough right now), and last night went to a Greek restaurant for a friend's 50th birthday party (and YES, I DID dance on a table!!!) WOOHOO!!!

I'm very happy with my time for so early in the season (and not the best pre-race ritual last night!). Looking forward to improving on it next time.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Just wanted to see where I am so far this season.
Post race
Warm down:

Slower riding, stood around after (FREEZING when I wasn't moving!) plus easy ride home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

DANCING ON THE TABLES LAST NIGHT! (Should've included that in yesterday's workout regimen!)

Event comments:

It's not like it's a huge race...mostly members of this bike club. More of a friendly thing than anything else, even though everyone still wanted to do their best. I DID win a $20 gift certificate to my LBS for second place!

Nice time....great to have a baseline to see where you are the season progresses!

Cool winning a GC for the LBS!

Now I think Ron needs to add dancing on tables to his other sports section of blogs.

Great time with this race Sharon! Definitely looking strong for so early in the season.

 49 degrees?! You should move somewhere warm, like New England!
