Pre-race routine:

Got up early, had a carnation instant breakfast, and my usual morning stuff. Grabbed a Bagel at DunkinDonuts on the way to the race.
Wandered around, setup my transition area, and got a feel for where everything is.
Event warmup:

Easy jogging for 20 min, some easy strides to get the legs moving. Ending about 10 min before my wave was supposed to start.

Good swim took it a bit easy.
What would you do differently?:

Might push harder next time if I can work on good balance and being able to swim faster with less kicking.

This went amazingly smooth... had small trouble putting socks on wet feet but not too much, everything else went well

Hammered on the bike, usual training speeds are in the 16 mph average range, so this went very well.

Had a lot of cramping when I tried to push the pace, otherwise it went well.

Warm down:

walked around a bit until I was cooled off, talked with family... Got a free massage

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Cramping on the run when I pushed the pace.

Event comments:

Good race, everything went smoothly, lots of bathrooms around, didn't have to use a porta-poty at all...
