Pre-race routine:

Oatmeal with raisin and whey powder, OJ. Drove to Fairfield subdivision.
Event warmup:

swam a 100 and stretched a little. Early in the day it was cool with a breeze, so standing around waiting to go I got cold.
Swim

  • 328 yards
  • 01m 57s / 100 yards
Comments:

The pool was nice. It was slightly heated, though you'd never know but it likely kept the temperature just right. The pool start was a staggered start with a person going every 15 seconds. It worked good early as no backups occured before I went, though I heard later there was congestion with the swimmers backing up at points. No swim caps were given for this event.
What would you do differently?:

They needed a bit more organization with the swim. We were lined up by swim time and it eventually sorted itself out.
Transition 1
  • 01m 43s
Comments:

T1 went fine. It was a moderately long run from the pool to the parking lot for transition.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. I thought I went faster than 1:43, but I slowed down trying to catch my breath plus I had to carry my bike around to go down another aisle as a guy was plopped down in the middle of our aisle putting on a pair of biking shorts.

I slowed down a bit going into T2 - I had pushed it a little extra during the bike and I was pretty tired through T2.

The breakfast was awesome!! Pancakes and freshly made Breakfast tacos. There was lots of extra goodies to eat, too! They had very good volunteers as well.
