Pre-race routine:

Got up at 5:00, ate a breakfast bar and drank water. Infinit nutrition screwed up my order, so I never got my drink mix in time, and I wasn't going to switch to powerade, so I was sticking to water. Drove to the park, go there about 7am.
Event warmup:

nothing to speak of, swam a little.
Swim
  • 19m 17s
  • 656 yards
  • 02m 56s / 100 yards
Comments:

It should've been a good swim, the water was warm and I started in the 4th wave. I stayed on the edge and while that removed mefrom the washing machine, it may have lengthened it considerabley. Someone with extremely long toenails caught me on the cheek. It finally stopped bleeding sometime on the bike.
What would you do differently?:

sight better

Had a brake rub at the start, so I flipped the lever wide open. I could've gone harder. Played tag with a girl on a p2SL for most of the ride. She nipped me in the last 500 yds.

Event comments:

The race itself was fine for me. The volunteers were good and the cops actually stopped the traffic. Saw the race refs more this time, looking for drafters. Two girls went way off course on the swim. One was dq'd and the other went back and made the bouy she missed, but there did't seem to be enough boats out in the lake.

I wish tribluesky would figure out their race software. And why can't they do the thank you's and the raffle while they're tabulating the results?

Nice race and great bike. You were on the "podium" with Abear2, look for her and say hello next time.

You are right about the raffle. I packed up and walked a bike to the car and loaded it up during the raffle of one prize. I guess nobody kept their ticket.

My wife mentioned the two girls that went off-course during the swim.  After the ref told them they had to restart at the missed buoy, one of the girls said, "what am I going to do, what am I going to do..."  Apparently they both did it again.
