Controlled Insanity!

Pre-Race Routine and Warm-Up:
Arrived early to set up and run through the transition plan. Talked my self into cruising the bike, not hammering. I've always hammered and then can't run. Rode the bike one mile out on the out and back 5K course, then back. Checked the transition alleys. About 10 minutes before the race, jogged about 500 yards. That was it.

Post Race Activities and Cool Down:
ate free pizza. They had HEED drink which was pretty good.

Event Comments:
Unbelievable for me. I've always been a jogger. My goal for Coach Ali was to turn me into a runner. I thought I was cruising along at my normal 9:00+ mile pace, not chancing the first race. Don't tell anyone, but I think I actually ran it. I had no idea I was going that fast (relatively, anyway). It’s running in my book. Good job Coach.

Would You Do This Race Again?
Great event, great venue. Yes
