Pre-race routine:

Woke up, had my normal bagel, peanut butter, and banana. Drove 70 min to the race, checked in, got ready.
Event warmup:

Wish I had brought a cliff bar for the few minutes waiting at the start line. I remembered gels, no bars...could have used the calories and weight in my stomach.

What would you do differently?:

Bring that Cliff bar for the 20 min sitting at the start line.
Post race
Warm down:

Wanted a beer at the Germanfest but I was whooped...no desire to go find a new parking spot and stand in line. Got in the truck and headed home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Hill training.

Event comments:

Great staff and setup although the finish was very anti-climatic...what finish?
