Pre-race routine:

Ate a power bar and a banana. Helped my friend JC pack up the car. We got laughing pretty good for 6am on a Sunday.
Event warmup:

Was glad to see that the bike racks were organized into age groups :)
Went for a quick run. Came back to organize my stuff and realized that I HAD NO BIKE SHOES!!
ACK!!
Ran to JC in a panic...he got worried that he left them sitting on the grass at his place when we re-packed my car. I called my husband who found them under a jacket I left behind at home...too hot to bring it, you know!! Home was 2 hours away from the race site.

I had a great swim!! I decided to be aggressive and started out at the front (blame Fromie for getting me all psyched up :)) It worked out well. I swam over a few people nicely and didn't interrupt them.

Well, I had the best run out with the bike in my RUNNING SHOES.
I did a good job at running out of the water and having my wetsuit mostly off by the time I hit the bike rack

Get a brain that remembers all tri gear for races!

Comments:

Having no bike shoes had me completely distracted from proper gearing and looking ahead to see what was coming up. I did OK considering my feet came off the pedals with major bumps and railroad tracks. Thank God I have LOOK pedals!!!
I was glad when the bike leg was OVER!!

Ha!! My running shoes were ON all right!! That was the fastest T2 on record for me :)

I felt like I wasn't running fast at all but I passed people and generally did well. One girl told me after that I smoked her on the run :)
What would you do differently?:

Nothing...I guess track workouts are paying off!

I wish they had Gatorade on the run course.

Great race, Timbit! Sorry about your bike shoes... guess you should have been more prepared and brought that jacket! Just think though, you should be able to smoke your time at the next one, like you smoked that girl on the run!

Way to go!
