decent pool swim, need to learn to get my large rear out of the pool via the edge.

Practice getting out of the pool.

Not sure if this includes the run down the stairs and outside, which was sketchy but better than last year based off race reports. they had towels down, but it was still wet stairs. took it really slow. parking lot had not been swept, but it was covered in snow on Monday, I'll take it. Didn't get my feet real clean, but it didn't turn out to be an issue.

Was ill prepared for the wind, even though it was maybe 10-15mph. This race marked only the 2nd ride of the trainer since October. The Highway 14Bypass crossing is under staffed and borderline dangerous, needs to have local law enforcement manually directing traffic.

Ride outside more, but that means buying proper gear to ride in sub-optimal temps. Learn to drink on the bike. parched..

went smooth.. feet were still gritty in my socks, but the shoes came off and went on just fine.

nice run, but never really got my legs. should have perhaps walked the water stop and cooled down.

more bricks..and then some more...

gatorade and stretching.


The bike course needs to have a look at the highway crossing, other than that it's about as good as it gets in this local area.
