Pre-race routine:

cold in the beginning, but no problem. took it easy to not injure my shoulder.

Comments:

some challenging hills. problems with the bike as the front sprockets wouldn't shift from high to low gear. fell because i tried to kick the shifter when going up a hill, but didn't get hurt. got to shift with my hand and avoided shifting into high gear for the rest of the race.

What would you do differently?:

get my bike cleaned and adjusted.

Comments:

the weather was great which made the run much more comfortable. after the turning point i shifted into high gear and ran a lot faster.

Post race

Warm down:

standing in the cold water, stretching, accelerade, water melon, burger, coke etc.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

didn't push myself on purpose due to injuries and the upcoming HIM.
