Comments:

Too fast of a start. Nerves were bad. Used legs too much to speed up.

Pace the start, finish strong. Use legs less.

Near perfect transition. A little fumbling with the race belt/number.

Wear race belt tucked in rear instead of front.

Wind made the ride out hard, but helped on the way in due to tailwind. Dismount was near perfect, maybe hop off closer to line.
What would you do differently?:

Not much, just try harder.

Left my helmet on while starting run.

Comments:

I held back a bit b/c I wasn't sure what I was capable of. The course was confusing with 3 different turnarounds, one in the same spot twice.
What would you do differently?:

Know the course, but it wasn't available online (incomplete).
Post race
Warm down:

Stretches, hydrate, pizza.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Bad swim, used up too much energy, esp. the legs. Didn't go 100% on the run, but now I know what I am capable of.
