Pre-race routine:

Woke up, got gear together, had a coffee at home. On the way ate a banana, mandarin orange and a power bar.
Event warmup:

Not much as started out later then usual, did briefly get wet.
Swim
  • 44m 14s
  • 1500 meters
  • 02m 57s / 100 meters
Comments:

Tried to just relax and pace self a bit slower. Felt that I was slower then I actually was.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. I was happy with the swim. With increased training I'll get better, but felt good and more relaxed then usual.
Transition 1
  • 02m 57s
Comments:

Wasn't a great transition. Heel stuck again. Dropped cap & goggles as well.
What would you do differently?:

Try wearing my chip on the R ankle. I usually pull that leg out first and so may help with suit sticking.
Bike
  • 1h 33m 35s
  • 40 kms
  • 25.65 km/hr
Comments:

Controlled my pace well. Was tempted to push harder, but wanted to save my legs for the run.
What would you do differently?:

Possibly could have pushed a bit harder, but hard to tell. I'll figure it out with more experience.
Transition 2
  • 01m 32s
Comments:

Decent transition. Feet went into the Vibrams again with no problems.
What would you do differently?:

Get to event earlier so that I can get a better position for my transition area.
