Pre-race routine:

HAd a meeting in town, grabbed a smoothie, went to the race and gabbed a bit.

Stretch jog, stretch more suit up and get wet :) The water felt good in the heat. The best thing was the coulds came over just as the run started to it cooled things off by then.

What would you do differently?:

This wasn't a real race for me, but if it were I would have been quicker at the truns and more aggressive with the drafting. I did this exactly how I wanted to though. Good clean hard effort :)
Transition 2
  • 01m 50s
Comments:

Went slow on purpose and put on a bandaid and socks, dried the feet really well. took my time and then headed out with Matt.
What would you do differently?:

Planned it this way, so nothing :)

Comments:

Don't remember the exact time, but I know I was JUST under 9 min miles - exactly where I wanted and without a watch!! I do know that the first mile was 9:30 since I was with Matt. I stopped for a drink at the turn around and then caught back up to Stacie and ran with her for a while. I put in a short pick up near the end and paced someone in, then let her sprint while I laid back :)
What would you do differently?:

I wasn't really racing the run, so nothing :)
Post race
Warm down:

little stretching and then some heavy lifting (beer)

What limited your ability to perform faster:

mid taper for a bigger race this weekend!

Event comments:

Awe!  You are so nice. It must have been that dunking I gave you at the start of the race.  My back is still hurting!  Did you gain weight or something?  JK JK.

How'd you guys win all that stuff? My goodness - that basically pays for Chris's entries the last two times, and possibly the next time as well. Here I thought Mark was the lucky one, but apparently you're a sleeper!

 Glad the hip felt good.
