Pre-race routine:

Rain and race delay had my nutrition out of whack. I grabbed an extra GU to get some addition nutrition in my system before the start.
Event warmup:

none. sat around until the race start
Swim
  • 20m 56s
  • 1500 meters
  • 01m 24s / 100 meters
Comments:

Water was a bit choppy, but current was fairly strong, which led to fast splits. This was my first Time Trial start and I actually liked it. It made for a smooth start and less bunches to swim around, but the downside is that it was much harder to draft.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Transition 1
  • 05m 12s
Comments:

Long run from swim exit to red transition. The ground was still pretty wet, so I tried to take my time to keep from slipping.
Bike
  • 1h 11m 4s
  • 40 kms
  • 33.77 km/hr
Comments:

I may have pushed it a bit too hard on the bike as my run suffered, but not sure if that was due to the humidity and heat, which is my kryptonite on the run.
What would you do differently?:

more training on the bike for a better set up on the run.
Transition 2
  • 01m 51s
Comments:

average T2 split, which is always slower because I put on socks for anything longer than a 5KM
Run
  • 56m 8s
  • 10 kms
  • 05m 37s  min/km
Comments:

I didn't want to cramp up or heat up, so I drank extra liquids. This resulted in my stopping at a port o potty at the bottom of harlem hill.
What would you do differently?:

manage the heat/humidity better
