Pre-race routine:

Arrived in plenty of time. My 15 1/2 yo son came to the race w/ me and we met my older brother there too. No stress. ALso bounced into some other folks I had met from previous races.

Race ended up being delayed 1 1/2 hours due to a storm cell moving thru. Drenching rains and thunder but cleared quickly.
Event warmup:

short swim to check bottom and water conditions. bottom was rocky in places.

Felt good on the swim. Got in the middle and mixed it up w/ the group. :) Funniest thing was on the last leg I swam side by side w/ a friend from a previous race. We had run together at my last oly and now we swam together. Popped up out of the water and looked at each other and were surprised to see each other. Nice feeling.

legs were tired on the run. Worked on finding a pace to hold in order to save something for the finish. Negative splitting. Was able to kick it up a notch for the finish.
