Pre-race routine:

Walked about 1/2 mile to the race site. It was so humid that by the time I made it to transition, I was dripping with sweat! I actually almost forgot to pick up my timing chip!
Event warmup:

I jumped in the water to swim a little since I wouldn't be wearing a wetsuit.
Swim
  • 14m 10s
  • 600 yards
  • 02m 22s / 100 yards
Comments:

I took a vaso-dialator pre race so I was pretty amped!
What would you do differently?:

Swim more in open water with no wetsuit!
Transition 1
  • 02m 1s
Comments:

It was a very short distance to the bike start.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Bike
  • 32m 6s
  • 12 miles
  • 22.43 mile/hr
Comments:

The bike was pretty comfortable. As usual, I passed many people and never looked back.
What would you do differently?:

train harder to stay in aero position the whole time instead of going back and forth.
Transition 2
  • 00m 47s
Comments:

I was really focused on making sure to cut my time down.
What would you do differently?:

I should have had my gel more accessible and T2 would have been even shorter! Oh well!
Run
  • 25m 18s
  • 3 miles
  • 08m 26s  min/mile
Comments:

My strategy was to aim for all the bigger guy who looked like they were in my division. I would catch them, then pass them one by one.
What would you do differently?:

I should have kick in earlier around 3/4 miles left instead of 1/2. I only missed taking home some hardware by 24 seconds!!! That really sucks!!
Post race
Warm down:

I chugged a lot of gatorade! Only had one slice of pizza. I just wasn't too hungry!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My recent weight gain.

Event comments:

I will keep this race on my annual calendar! It allowed me to push harder than usual and test my progress.
