Other:

Describe your warmup:

2 min run and then 3-4 strides

Race Details - Swim:

No swim but 4 mile run on paved street. Very smooth riding except after mile 1 big hill. It is out and back course so if you do Long then you hit the hill twice

Race Details - T1:

Fast and very organized

Race Details - Bike:

Nice roads. Never felt dangerous of hitting a pothole etc. Open traffic so you have to be careful during turns and try not to keep your head down. Keep your eyes open. Two loops out and back so could be very challenging if it's windy. Forget the disc.

Race Details - T2:

same as above

Race Details - Run:

same as above. Watch out for a dog around mile 2. It's barking and running towards you but fortunately hits invisible fence. Scary though.

How did you do in this race?

4 - Better than I thought
