Pre-race routine:

ate a good breakfast 5 hours prior to race - waffles and fruit. Didn't finish it all so it wouldn't sit like a rock in my stomache. Took vitamins, drank water, had GU just prior to swim

stretching and short swim

Comments:

decent size waves for the start. Started on the right hand side of the group and ran down the beach and into the surf. Waded up to my waist, picked my wave and dove under and just began to swim. Ended up breathing every stroke instead of every 3rd stroke but it seemed to work for me. Came in before the main body of my group
What would you do differently?:

work on breathing

Comments:

left archilles really hurting by 3/4 mile. Favored that foot for next mile then right hip began to ache and on the last mile did a shiffle/waddle. Came in for a strong finish though
What would you do differently?:

Have a stonger base of running before running on beach and not get injured!!!!!

Event comments:
