Pre-race routine:

Drove down that morning...later start allowed for a DD Coffee and breakfast sandwich! Set up Transition and hoped it would warm up a bit...
Event warmup:

Able to pull on the wet suit and swim for 10 minutes. Also, went for a few miles on the bike out to the course.

Comments:

Horrific... I was ready for this and then screwed up by swimming off to the right and didn't notice until about 200 yards in... UGG. Added a good 50 yards and...lost my breathing.
What would you do differently?:

Pay more attention to the swim direction at the start!

Back to being wiped out after the swim.... grrrrrrr. Lost a solid minute here..
What would you do differently?:

It's all about getting the swim squared away.

More bike speed training.

Next year, new bike shoes that are easier to run in...

Comments:

Hills were deceptive.
What would you do differently?:

Hoping my Plantar Fasciitis is gone for next year so I can train for the run... Happy my time isn't too bad considering no run training this summer.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretching, hydrating..packing up. My son took first place in the 0-19 Males category!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

More training needed.

Event comments:

A nice way to finish the season - not especially difficult course but a need to have a good strategy and carry it out! Beautiful area and a perfect day weatherwise!
