Pre-race routine:

Up at 5:15 - on the road by 5:45. Arrived at 6:45 and setup transition.
Event warmup:

Very short jog around parking lots
Swim
  • 26m 15s
  • 1584 yards
  • 01m 40s / 100 yards
Comments:

Overall, I'm pleased with my swim. My goal time was 25-26 min, and I was just over that. I had never swam this distance before - the most was 1400 yards in practice. Got a good rhythm going. I had some issues with sighting and was drifting right a bit. Sighting on the 2nd part of the swim was into the sun and a little difficult to see.
What would you do differently?:

Swimming is my main weakness. I'm doing masters classes over the winter, so my swim times should improve for next season.
Transition 1
  • 02m 13s
Comments:

Overall, a decent transition. I could have probably gone a bit faster.
What would you do differently?:

A bit more practice
Bike
  • 1h 07m 29s
  • 26.3 miles
  • 23.38 mile/hr
Comments:

Kept the HR between 155 and 165 and felt good throughout the ride. Didn't get passed by anyone and passed many people from my wave and waves ahead of me.
What would you do differently?:

More bike training, work on hills and speed work.
Transition 2
  • 01m 10s
Comments:

Took a quick drink, grabbed my belt, hat and watch and ran out. Good transition overall.
Run
  • 43m 50s
  • 6.2 miles
  • 07m 04s  min/mile
Comments:

Was aiming for around 42:30, but I just felt that a 7:00 pace was good to start with. Never could really get it down to around 6:50 pace that I wanted.
What would you do differently?:

Will my body to go a bit faster. I need to get my weekly run mileage up to the 30's instead of the 20's - that will help.
Post race
Warm down:

Grabbed a few drinks, cliff bars, and hung out with my new tri team.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training. More training ='s better times.

Event comments:

There were some timing issues, and we had to wait about an hour longer than expected for the awards ceremony.
