Pre-race routine:

Arrived at the Registration area and booked in, got marked and racked my bike. Only had a few minutes to set up as transition was closing soon.
Event warmup:

Did a couple of jogs with some other dynamic stuff.
Swim
  • 06m 51s
  • 750 meters
  • 55s / 100 meters
Comments:

Current was so strong it just dragged everyone down the course.
This time is very unrealistic of what I would normally do.
What would you do differently?:

More swim training.
Transition 1
  • 02m 19s
Comments:

Was running with my bike on the wrong side so when I got to the mount line I had to stop and change sides.

Run from swim exit to T1 was at least 200m.
Bike
  • 32m 26s
  • 20 kms
  • 37.00 km/hr
Comments:

Went out hard. Some strong headwinds at times, but others the wind was behind.
Course was tight in some parts, especially the corners and turn arounds. I didn't do much work on cornering so I probably lost a bit of speed and time here, considering there were quite a few of them.
Transition 2
  • 01m 27s
Comments:

Probably went a bit hard on the bike, so I was feeling it a bit here. Went slow to catch my breath a bit.
Run
  • 24m 21s
  • 5 kms
  • 04m 52s  min/km
Comments:

Went a bit hard on the bike, as I didn't know if my knee would allow me to run too fast. Didn't feel knee too much.
What would you do differently?:

Had done basically no run training in the last month, so performance here suffered.
Post race
Warm down:

Bit of a stretch and some Endura and fruit.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of run training in the last month due to injury.

Event comments:

15 mins late. No loud speaker announcing what wave was about to go and the guy starting each wave just called out 'ready, go'. There was no whistle or hooter or anything.
Could have had the drink stations a bit earlier into the run.
I measured the bike course as only 18.5km.
