Pre-race routine:

Much less stressed this time around. Karen and the kids all stayed home due to the heat, so I had less to get ready. I showed up about 530. Got tires pumped up, cruised over and got my race number on, picked up my PR medal and desposited it in truck.
Event warmup:

Had time for about 4 laps, mostly easy with some intervals of race pace

Comments:

The wind was kicking pretty strong. At start time, it was sustained at 8, gusting up to 14mph, but it felt even stronger on the front stretch. You could tell a huge difference in everyone's speed tonite because of it. I pushed really hard and turned in a very respectable time despite the strongest winds of any of the races that I've ridden
What would you do differently?:

Keep doing what I'm doing
Post race
Warm down:

Took the time to do a few extra laps around the parking lot to stretch out my legs a little better

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Me

Event comments:

Had a good time as always--even though I was the lone QCTC representative--AGAIN :)
