Pre-race routine:

got to site, set up my T1, only needed a T1 since this race was only a swim/run. Hung out with my team, also ran into some friends who were doing their first race ever of any kind. I gave them some tips and some words of encouragement.
Event warmup:

the walk to the swim and about 25 yards in the lake

Comments:

i needed to push myself harder on this run if i did i could of gotten 3rd place in my age group. I really can't be upset with this run, since i've be doing tris my run has always been my worst event, so for me to run a 5k in under 24 mins after a swim is huge for me. I just need to push myself
What would you do differently?:

push myself.

Nice work, John. I didn't know if that race was going to happen because of those storms that came through. And, I hear you about not pushing the run hard enough...I tend to do that too. I think that's something that'll just get better with each race. I'm glad you had fun and were able to hang out with your friends and TT. Take care .

Nice job out there on the run. Great run time on what seems to be a considerable reduction in training from last year. Nice work....keep up the good work and see you this weekend...
