Pre-race routine:

I didn't wake up early enoug, so I didn't eat anything. Since this was my 1st event ever, I just spent my time making sure I had everything ready to go.
Event warmup:

I walked across the parking lot. Again, wasn't sure what to do.
Run
  • 35m 27s
  • 3 miles
  • 11m 49s  min/mile
Comments:

I need to train more on running. However, really bad shin splints prevented this. The compression socks I bought the week of the race seemed to help. I walked about a half mile.
What would you do differently?:

Train more
Transition 1
  • 03m 5s
Comments:

I don't have bike shoes, so the transition was fine. Would have liked to drink more Gatorade, but it was fine.
Bike

  • 15.17 mile/hr
Comments:

It felt good to bike after the terrible run. I probably could have gone faster, but I was happy with my time.
What would you do differently?:

Go a little harder.
Transition 2
  • 02m 10s
Comments:

Again, no bike shoes made the transition easier. I drank enough Gatorade this time.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Run
  • 11m 27s
  • 1 miles
  • 11m 27s  min/mile
Comments:

Well, I ran this entire mile without walking. I'm proud of that. But, I need to train more.
What would you do differently?:

Just more run training.
Post race
Warm down:

Drank a lot of water and Gatorade and walked around. Packed everything up and went home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of run training due to shin splints. I think the compression socks are going to help with that though. So, I hope to get more run training in this year. Also, I only jumped on the bike for the first time 3 months ago. I could barely make it 5 miles back then. So, just finishing the race made me feel good.

Event comments:

I'm happy to have completed my first event. Sure, I would have liked to have done better. But, considering the short training time and lack of run training, I'm happy. My goal was to finish around 3 hours and I just beat that.
