Nothing special, just setting up transition and taking a couple bathroom breaks. Breakfast was a powerbar.
Event warmup:

Just got in the water to test the Temp, not really for a warmup.

Comments:

Boooo. Water temp was perfect for swimming without a wetsuit, but I couldn't keep my legs from sinking. I can't officially blame anything but myself. The water was rough though and there was a strong rip current. Doesn't mater though because my bike was waiting for me on dry land; one way or another I made it through the swim.
Transition 1
  • 01m 28s
Comments:

Not superhero quick, but faster than most. Took some time to bitch about the swim and take a drink of water.
Bike
  • 50m 8s
  • 18.64 miles
  • 22.31 mile/hr
Comments:

Knew I had a bad swim but could make up for it on the bike. Pace was comfortably hard; fast but nothing that was killing me.
Transition 2
  • 00m 58s
Comments:

Pretty quick.
What would you do differently?:

arrive earlier for better placement in transition.
Run
  • 18m 22s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 05m 55s  min/mile
Comments:

It's easier to find rabbits on the run than it is on the bike. Didn't really feel like I was pressing myself as hard as a tempo run effort, but I think I was moving as fast as my body wanted to let me. I was focused more on rabbit hunting than chasing the clock.
What would you do differently?:

Burn my legs out.
Post race
Warm down:

Got a warm down hug from Lauren and then enjoyed some gatorade and bananas before a long wait in the free massage line.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Forgetting how to swim.

Event comments:

Well organized and affordable. An easy course with a challenging swim.
