Pre-race routine:

stayed at a buddy's that was also doing the race. Woke up at 4:30 and then had some coffee and a bagel with nutella and a banana. We loaded up the bikes and made our way to the race. After parking and walking over to transition we only had a few minutes to set up.
Event warmup:

After finding an ant mound I decided to jump in and swim a warm up. I was in the last male wave so just waited around.

Comments:

The 40-44 AG was split in 2 waves. I was out first in my wave and did not have a chance to draft. I went out a little fast at the beginning but that is usually what I do anyway.
What would you do differently?:

Felt ok on the bike but need to spend more time in the saddle as I should have done a little better since it was pretty flat and I am used to more hills in Austin

ride more

The heat and humidity was definitely getting to me but I did an ok job of pushing through. The crowds and local residents were great.

I am glad that I made the trip in from Austin as it was a great race and Aaron and the gang put on an amazing event.
