Describe your biggest race disaster. Taking too long to change a flat at IM Canada in 2001! Finished the bike course but missed the cut-off by 3 minutes! (Also, it may have been a bit early to attempt an Ironman as I had been racing for less than a year!) |
||||

Do you have a non-negotiable pre-race ritual? Peet's coffee, oatmeal & honey, and get to the race EARLY (otherwise I stress out!). |

||||
