Pre-race routine:

I arrived a little over an hour before the race. There were plenty of folk there already. I got set up in transition, got my body marking done, and made several trips to the bathroom. I also went to check out the pool.
Event warmup:

A few minutes before the race, I did a quick 3-4 minute jog around the campus.
Swim
  • 07m 53s
  • 300 yards
  • 02m 38s / 100 yards
Comments:

Pool swim was definitely something different. On the other hand, it was at the end so it wasn't that hard to give it all that I could.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really. I felt like it was a pretty strong swim considering.
Transition 1
  • 00m 59s
Comments:

Again this was a reverse tri, so I was already out of my gear.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Bike
  • 40m 37s
  • 12.5 miles
  • 18.47 mile/hr
Comments:

I need to get stronger on the bike. Had a hard time holding my pace after the first 6-7 miles.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. I went out hard on the bike and tried to build up some time figuring I would get caught by a few folks.
Transition 2
  • 00m 58s
Run
  • 22m 40s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 17s  min/mile
Comments:

I felt really good on the run, and this is definitely my strong suit. Since it was first, I wasn't really sure how to run it. I didn't feel like I held back a lot, but I definitely gave myself something for the ride.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
