Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 4:30, ate cereal with strawberries and drank some gatorade. Drove to the parking lot and rode about half a mile to the event.
Event warmup:

Walked, jogged a little and stretched
Swim
  • 15m 59s
  • 547 yards
  • 02m 55s / 100 yards
Comments:

I had a good swim, I felt in control and I thought I was on pace for 18 minutes and note 16, however when I got to what I thought was 2 laps to go they said one so I thought I maybe miscounted. Because I estimated 20 minutes and finished in 16 there was a disqualification if you finished 2 minutes faster than your predicted time. Was officially disqualified for finishing too fast
What would you do differently?:

Trust my own lap count and if I was wrong, do another lap for this one race with penalties for swimming
Transition 1
  • 01m 55s
Comments:

Thought I did fairly okay on this transition
What would you do differently?:

larger socks, I had a sock pair that was too small.
Bike
  • 1h 00m 35s
  • 15 miles
  • 14.86 mile/hr
Comments:

That hill stinks but it was also the uphill on the back side of the loop that slowed me down more
What would you do differently?:

Need to work on my biking since it's the worst area where I lost the most time
Transition 2
  • 02m
Comments:

Could be better and I had trouble getting one shoe unclipped
What would you do differently?:

Two areas to improve, put yanks on the shoes and remember to lay everything out. I forgot to put my energy gel out so I had to reach into my bag
Run
  • 40m 39s
  • 4.5 miles
  • 09m 02s  min/mile
Comments:

The easiest part of the three for more. Slowed down a little for each mile but felt okay.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, had some fruit

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Biking

Event comments:

Good race, except for officially disqualifying, and I will do it next year
