Pre-race routine:

Since I was in charge of the rest stations, I was up at 4:30 packing coolers on the truck to bring to the race. Got a nice sweat going

Event warmup:

Did not do anything. Ate a granola bar and powerbar

Bike

Comments:

Mentally did not do well. Around mile 40 the right leg started cramping. I did not drink nearly enough and really suffered the last 12 miles in. I was alone most of the time so I did not get to draft and hydration was terrible. Oh well, live and learn

What would you do differently?:

Stay with a group and drink more fluids

Post race

Warm down:

Cooled off and then went and jumped in mom's pool

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of hydration
