Pre-race routine:

Up early (4:15am) as I had to be to the race site early with Scott and the rest of the Set Up Events crew. They needed to be there at 5am!
Event warmup:

No warm up...it was cold outside this morning so I tried to stay inside as much as possible!

Comments:

Not too bad of a swim...I passed two people which pleased me. I'm usually the one getting passed!
Transition 1
  • 01m 38s
Comments:

It was freezing coming out of the aquatic center to transition. Unfortunately I packed inappropriately for this race b/c Friday when I packed it was warm outside here. Today was a different story but luckly I was able to get one of my friends to bring me arm warmers.
What would you do differently?:

Pack appropriately for all conditions

I was pretty pleased with my bike performance. I haven't spent much time on my bike outdoors since IMAZ in November except for this past week so not a bad bike for me at all!
Transition 2
  • 01m 13s
Comments:

I was soooo cold by the time I got off the bike. I had a hard time tying up my shoe laces b/c my fingers were numb. It definately slowed my transition down a bit.
What would you do differently?:

I need to get 'sqeeze em's'

Comments:

I had some foot pain on my run but it was managable. I felt numb off the bike and couldn't feel my legs for the few minutes. All in all I had a decent run!
Post race
Warm down:

Went and said hello to my 'announcer' hubby after the race.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Cold temperatures.

Event comments:

Good race...just wish the weather had been warmer!

Congrats!  You had a good race and a very good run.  I think it took me 2 hours to thaw out after.
