Pre-race routine:

Talked alot with my wifes parents and sister. Mr. Hail was video taping.
We were somewhat intimidated by all the triathletes.

Event warmup:

Just some light strenching

Swim

09m 20s
500 yards
01m 52s / 100 yards

Comments:

Very difficult to get comfortable for the first 200 yards or so. A lot of water was coming into my mouth from other people splashing or just the movement of the water.

What would you do differently?:

Set expectations for a rocky start. Try to relax more

Transition 1

Bike

52m 27s
18.5 miles
21.16 mile/hr

Comments:

First time ever to bike on a completely wet surface! Had to turn and corner really slow. It was fun being able to see, my wife Sarah, on the bike, despite that fact that she was competing in the women's tri.

What would you do differently?:

Push a little hard on flats and downhills. DRINK MORE.

Transition 2

Run

23m 20s
3.1 miles
07m 32s min/mile

Comments:

I was really fatigued after the bike. I slowed down a fair amount the last mile. I was passed by about 5 people in the last mile.

What would you do differently?:

Save a little energy on the bike for the run

Post race

Warm down:

A little strenching, but mainly waiting for Sarah to finish. Talking with Miranda and Mrs. Hail.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swim, and end of the run

Event comments:

Great race
