Pre-race routine:

Clydesdale #1 of 7
Too rushed. Arrived @ 6:25. Set-up transition quickly but some equipment was ready. 2 bags were nice but maybe a bit much.
Event warmup:

200 yard run, 100 yard swim, stretches and some drills
Swim
  • 10m 49s
  • 800 yards
  • 01m 21s / 100 yards
Comments:

I swam when others were "jogging" on bottom.
What would you do differently?:

Breathe out of buoy side.
Draft better.
Tighter turns.
Transition 1
  • 01m 26s
Comments:

Helmet strap not adjusted properly.
Shoes too cumbersome.
What would you do differently?:

Use Sette shoes with velcro only.
Bike
  • 1h 18m 37s
  • 29.06 miles
  • 22.18 mile/hr
Comments:

It was a bit windy. I should have stayed with some of the pace setters. Perhaps I backed off too early and didn't push hard enough at the end.
What would you do differently?:

I could have pushed harder and kept my heart rate higher. Perhaps a higher cadence.
Transition 2
  • 00m 51s
Comments:

Need speed laces and better # fastening skill.
Run
  • 45m 6s
  • 6.2 miles
  • 07m 16s  min/mile
Comments:

Good run but far too much energy when crossing the line at the end. I should have increased my HR at least 5 bpm over the whole course.
What would you do differently?:

I should have started a bit slower so I could do the last few miles faster.
Post race
Warm down:

200 yard jog & stretch

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Mental. Hadn't done this distance.

Course: Seemed much shorter than 800 yds. Over half of the course was walking depth and people took advantage of that. Most could walk faster than the swimmers. A bit unfair. I swam the entire portion.
