Pre-race routine:

Showed up early so I didn't have to rush. Parking was rough, so I ended up having to rush a little to get my number on and my bike up and ready. I drank about half a liter of water while I was wandering around.
Event warmup:

None
Swim
  • 13h 05m
  • 900 yards
  • 1h 27m 13s / 100 yards
Comments:

I felt like I did as good as I could have in the water. The start was unexpected by most everyone so it was a rush to start swimming.
Transition 1
  • 03m
Comments:

T1 was horrible. I'm guessing on the 3 minutes because it's a combined time with my bike, but it was bad. A lot of people passed me up that I beat out of the water, I just wasn't used to getting a wetsuit off.
What would you do differently?:

Practice more with my wetsuit
Bike
  • 1h 01m 7s
  • 17.1 miles
  • 16.79 mile/hr
Comments:

Bike was not bad, I found myself daydreaming and slacking a few times, so I would gear up and be fine, so I'm sure I could have shaved at least a few more minutes off of my time if I had better concentration
What would you do differently?:

Concentrate more on my race pace
Transition 2
  • 01m
Comments:

Transition here was not too bad. They had a bag waiting for me when I got there with my shoes and shirt in there. I eventually took my shirt off due to chaffing, so I guess I could have done without that.
What would you do differently?:

Not too much, the help was great
Run
  • 46m 4s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 07m 25s  min/mile
Comments:

Overall, I was impressed with my time, I think it shows that I could have sped up a bit on the bike and maybe it would have benefitted me more.
What would you do differently?:

Bike harder and run a little slower rather than vice versa
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around for about 5 minutes and drank an all sport supplied by the race people

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Transition #1 was que horrible!
