Pre-race routine:

Was scheduled to work at the race... Bad idea. Had to be at race site at 5am and was running late. Had to change out brake pads to run the HED3Cs and had no breakfast. Forgot race belt and water bottles.
Event warmup:

Rode for maybe 1/2 mile to finally test the new tires/race wheels and make sure shifting was ok.

Taken it out a little harder...

Comments:

Very slow in transition... Did not really try too hard.
Just changing out of running shoes and into riding shoes plus helmet.

What would you do differently?:

Actually move...
Probably, leave shoes on pedals. The run to the bike mount/dismount was long and rocky, so ran in bike shoes.

Really struggled. Simply watched people run by me. Actually had troubling breathing at one point - very strange. Really bonked. Managed to hold off the second place female at the end.

Not bonk!
Post race
Warm down:

Paul Cupo finished ahead of me and was waiting at the chute so we walked around. Stretched.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nutrition challenges. Not really prepared mentally for the day and it showed. Good training day however.

Event comments:

Typical Rochester Fleet Feet/Yellowjacket Racing event - goes off on time, Well organized and run, nice course.
