Pre-race routine:

Ate a power bar and a banana. Helped my friend JC pack up the car. We got laughing pretty good for 6am on a Sunday.
Event warmup:

Was glad to see that the bike racks were organized into age groups :)
Went for a quick run. Came back to organize my stuff and realized that I HAD NO BIKE SHOES!!
ACK!!
Ran to JC in a panic...he got worried that he left them sitting on the grass at his place when we re-packed my car. I called my husband who found them under a jacket I left behind at home...too hot to bring it, you know!! Home was 2 hours away from the race site.
I AM A DORK

I had a great swim!! I decided to be aggressive and started out at the front (blame Fromie for getting me all psyched up :)) It worked out well. I swam over a few people nicely and didn't interrupt them.

Well, I had the best run out with the bike in my RUNNING SHOES.
I did a good job at running out of the water and having my wetsuit mostly off by the time I hit the bike rack

Comments:

Having no bike shoes had me completely distracted from proper gearing and looking ahead to see what was coming up. I did OK considering my feet came off the pedals with major bumps and railroad tracks. Thank God I have LOOK pedals!!!
I was glad when the bike leg was OVER!!

I felt like I wasn't running fast at all but I passed people and generally did well. One girl told me after that I smoked her on the run :)
What would you do differently?:

Nothing...I guess track workouts are paying off!

I wish they had Gatorade on the run course.
