Pre-race routine:

First off, this race you could choose the order in which you wanted to do. SO your group lined up at the transition exit where they were going first. I did swim run bike.Woke up at 5 ate a poptart, coffee, mix1 shake, half a banana and a cliff bar. Got to the race site at 5:45 and was not the first one there. Still able to find a close transition spot near the bike out.
Event warmup:

Did a one mile run with some strides. Swam about 200 yards just to get the heart rate up.
Swim
  • 14m 36s
  • 750 yards
  • 01m 57s / 100 yards
Comments:

The time also includes the 100 yard run down the beach. I was 3rd into the water but not sure where I ended up after the swim. I am sure I was not up very high. Decent swim except the people I was around could not swim straight and I had to stop 2 times to let them swim by and get back on course. All men started at the same time and all women started 7 minutes later.
What would you do differently?:

Swim more. Good swim for me.
