Pre-race routine:

Woke up early, had some oatmeal and a protein bar and juice. Drove about 50 minutes to race.

Comments:

Swim went ok although I felt a little fatigued about 3/4 way through it. I did push hard the last two laps trying to get to 500M. I actually did about 485M, almost finishing the last lap before the gun.
What would you do differently?:

More swim practice.

ALL LOST IN THE SUPERMARKET....The Clash

I completely spaced and loafed in the locker room. I ended up getting to the bike 1:30 after the group start. I thought everyone was starting individually as we were on exercise bikes.

double-DUH !
What would you do differently?:

Ummm...how about remember I am in a race (even if it is indoors)and do T1 like I mean it.

Comments:

Run was tedious on the treadmill. I started out at 9:00 pace according to machine and then ran for seventeen minutes at 8:30 pace and three at 7:30 pace. Not sure why there is inaccuracy on time/length.
What would you do differently?:

Bring ipod for treadmill run to keep my mind off the tedium.
Post race
Warm down:

Walkded on treadmill for almost five minutes.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Overall run training.

Event comments:

This is a great race for several reasons. It is at the end of the season, so timing is great for a race right before the cold. The race benefits the Kate Kimberley Foundation and helps wheelchair bound people back into athletics. Kate is a great person, and ran a great race ! I will do this race again in 2007
