Pre-race routine:

umm, left the house kind of late so had to rush to the race location, run to the registration table, stress out while waiting to get into the port-o-potty, chat with pollyc for 3 seconds (she claims 5, but i think it was 3), and run to the start line

good news is that i had eaten a bagel and a banana approx 1 hr before race time so my stomach was feeling good
Event warmup:

yah, no time for warm-up—consider the run from the car to the reg table my warmup

Comments:

felt really good considering I cycled 21 miles yesterday

was able to sprint the last .2 or so miles
What would you do differently?:

get there earlier so more time to warm up and chill out

i walked for about 10 seconds—wish i hadnt
Post race
Warm down:

tried hard to catch my breath after the sprint

What limited your ability to perform faster:

nothing really-except maybe the ride yesterday—but it was an awesome ride so I have no regrets

Event comments:

The course is awesome and the event is well organized. They could be little snappier with the awards ceremony, but all else is very good.
