Oops, forgot to get back to the race report.. well.. I stayed at a hotel in Morgan Hill, which turned out to be a great night. Nice room, nice hotel, big TV.. I got to the hotel at 4:00ish and just vegged all evening. Had a little dinner, took a bath, watched a little TV, found a cut of the Tokyo Olympiad on You Tube... you get the picture. Got to sleep by 10:00isn and got up at 4:35am.. ouch!
Coffee, oatmeal, Hammer supplements and vits all down by 5:25am, then off to the race venue at Uvas. I arrived at 6:10 or so with plenty of time to rack my bike, set up and head down to the 7am swim start. I drank most of a bottle of Heed and took 3 Race caps and 3 Endurolytes within the hour before the race start.
The water was MUCH warmer than it had been a month ago. Sleeveless Xterra and one cap was perfect.. sighting was EASY! I had one of the best swims in any triathlon -- no bumping into people, easy sighting, 69 degree water... no swimming into the sunrise... just kind of perfect.
The race went on to be kind of great - easy bike around the water and an out and back run.. air temperature was perfect and i felt great!
