Pre-race routine:

Had to drag the whole clan with us tonight. We couldn't get anyone to babysit so this was a less than fun experience. All of the kids were crazy. Actually managed to get to the track early enough to have time to get things settled
Event warmup:

2 warmup laps before they closed the track. Was supposed to start at 6:32 but waited until after Karen finished, so I actually started about 7:08. My warmup didn't do me much good by that time.

Comments:

Waiting and riding later threw me a little bit. My warm up also wasn't much help since it had been about 45 mins before I actually rode up to the start line. A much better race than some of the ones this summer. Still frustrating to know that I only need to pick up an avg of 3 secs per lap to lower my PR. Overall, feel pretty good about it since I wasn't sure if I was even going to get to ride tonight due to our childcare situation. Karen has been great about watching the kids while I ride, so I was going to sit out and let her ride. The staff at the race was kind enough to let me bump my time back until after Karen had a chance to finish.
What would you do differently?:

Pedal harder!

Warm down:

Tried not to vomit....really hammered the back stretch and pit road of the last lap. Didn't have my HR so I don't know how high it got. Hung out with Jeff & Karen for a few minutes before we loaded the whole group back into the Family Truckster for the ride home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Me
