Pre-race routine:

It has been a long time, so I didn't really have one. Got to the race late (not really, but it felt late because the place was packed). Got transition setup pretty easily.
Event warmup:

Biked a couple of miles just to get the legs moving and then went and swam approximately 200 yards or so.
Swim
  • 25m 5s
  • 1600 yards
  • 01m 34s / 100 yards
Comments:

Swim felt real smooth. I didn't think I pushed myself that hard and maybe I should have pushed it harder? I really just took it smooth and tried to keep a good pace.
What would you do differently?:

Better job of siting. I found myself a couple of times WAY out of the way. I probably actually swam about 1750 with how far I went out of my way. My citing has to improve.
Transition 1
  • 02m 11s
Comments:

My transition was terrible. I came out of the water and was walking, and then I couldn't get my wetsuit off, took a few minutes to get the shoes on, it was just bad.
What would you do differently?:

Do more times where I practice this. I just don't practice this and coming out of the water I am just too "tired."
Bike
  • 1h 20m 25s
  • 24.8 miles
  • 18.50 mile/hr
Comments:

My first lap of biking was flat out terrible. I was just too slow. There is no way I should be averaging 18.5. I needed to put more miles on my legs before this race, and I didn't. As a result I struggled. I should be averaging 20.5 without having adverse affect to my run. Towards the end I think I started to feel better and get some more speed going, but it was a rough start.
What would you do differently?:

Get more mileage in prior to the race.
Transition 2
  • 01m 34s
Comments:

Had to tie shoes and put on socks. Not terrible.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. I think I could have done this a bit faster, but overall, it wasn't too bad.
Run
  • 55m 45s
  • 6.2 miles
  • 08m 59s  min/mile
Comments:

My first 4 miles were really good. Averaged probably 8:30, but the next 2.2 miles were no good. Again this just goes to training. If I had more mileage I would have been able to push that a little farther. However, kept comfortable pace and ran the whole way, which is good.
What would you do differently?:

Do more training prior to the race.
