Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 4:30, had a pb sandwich and some coffee and headed to the race. We were staying about 30 minutes away.

No warmup, got in the water and swam just a bit. It was actually a little chilly so when my wave could get in the water I just stayed there.

I thought I had a good swim, sighted perfect, drafted a little on the first two legs. The last leg was tiring, I felt like I was not moving.
What would you do differently?:

Swim faster, It was a slow swim for me.

I wanted to average over 20 on the bike, so at least I hit that goal. I was trying to catch a friend of mine who beat me by 7 minutes on the swim, so I had a lot of ground to catch up!
What would you do differently?:

Not much, good bike for me.

Started out a little slow on the run, had a little ankle pain for some reason. Felt good after about 1/2 mile and tried to run down my friend. Another mile and I would have had him:)
What would you do differently?:

Great run for me, felt great.
Post race
Warm down:

Cheered on some other folks that were there from Wilmington, then ran a couple of miles. Jumped in the lake to cool off.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Crappy swim, ??
