Pre-race routine:

Up early, ate a normal breakfast and headed out to the race site. Got there plenty early to get a good parking spot, get my chip, and set up transition.
Event warmup:

Did some light running to get the heart rate up followed by stretching. I was able to get into the water several minutes before my wave to get a few strokes in before the start.
Swim
  • 09m 37s
  • 500 yards
  • 01m 55s / 100 yards
What would you do differently?:

I could have and should have gone out a bit harder.
Transition 1
  • 02m 36s
Comments:

I need to work on T-1
What would you do differently?:

I would have worn a HRM and tri top into the water under suit. This was a killer in T-1
Bike
  • 41m 25s
  • 12 miles
  • 17.38 mile/hr
What would you do differently?:

I need to be able to "go" more on the bike. It's simple, I need to log more miles on the bike to be successful here!
Transition 2
  • 00m 53s
Comments:

Much better than T-1!
Run
  • 26m 6s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 23s  min/mile
What would you do differently?:

I should have been more aggressive. I was only passed once, which is always a good sign, but at the same time I think I became a little lax because of this.
Post race
Warm down:

Some slow running followed by stretching.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Myself.

Event comments:

A nice first tri in 15 years!! It's good to be back!!
