Pre-race routine:

Worked all day, then got stuck in a traffic jam going home. Did end up getting there about 90 min early to avoid late arrivers. Paid my fee and ended up getting race No. 2. I hope everyone doesn't think I'm an elite with my low race number :)
Event warmup:

200m warm up swim, played in the water with the kids.

Swim went much better then the last time I did this race two weeks ago. Ended up a minute faster and no panicing at all. Just tryed to relax and concentrate on my breathing
What would you do differently?:

Improve sighting, was constantly veering off course.

no real problems, but I think i should sit down when trying to get my shoes and socks on, trying to bed over to do it made me really light headed
What would you do differently?:

sit down to put shoes and socks on

Nothing to really complain about, about the same time as I did in the last race. Just tried to focus on getting my legs underneath me the first mile, working my arms on the uphills, and hammering the downhills

Warm down:

quick dip back in the water to cool off. a couple of beers :)

need to improve my swimming endurance and my sighting
