Pre-race routine:

I dont know enough to have a routine

Stood around and watched everyone. Not smart.
Swim

  • 500 yards
  • 1h 51m 24s / 100 yards
Comments:

I need to get comfortable with the open water swim. Totally lost it. I didn't do anything like what I've been training to do.
What would you do differently?:

I would warmup with some swimming before everyone gets in the water.
Transition 1
  • 00m 13s
Comments:

I was very shaky trying to get in my shoes.
What would you do differently?:

Practice
Bike
  • 1h 04m 5s
  • 19.26 miles
  • 18.03 mile/hr
Comments:

Solid ride. This is one of my strengths. I see the benefit of a TT bike here. I rode the race on my road bike with no aero bars.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe put aero bars on my rode bike and be more aggressive descending.
Transition 2
  • 14m 34s
Comments:

Work on my cyclocross dismount. Know the course better. It would have helped descending and in the transition.
What would you do differently?:

Pre-ride the course and be very familiar with the dismount area.
Run
  • 42m 26s
  • 4.64 miles
  • 09m 09s  min/mile
Comments:

I ended up with a slight pain under my right rib cage. I think it was gas. I had to throttle back for about a half mile.
What would you do differently?:

Get my shoes tight. Don't experiment with my nutrition. Do more anerobic training.
Post race
Warm down:

None

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My swim was terrible. My nutrition was marginal.

Event comments:

I don't have any experience but I really liked this race.
