Comments:

Bumped into a few people on the way out. Someone had hit my chip and I felt it was going to come off. Rolled over a few times to mess with it. Wore new goggles that were not tight enough and had filled with water the first 100 yards.
What would you do differently?:

Not much, started towards the front of the wave.

Each calf cramped as I took off my shoes. Massaged each one.

Comments:

Kept my legs moving at first without straining my calfs. Only two water holes, the first was a long way away. Walked a few feet or so at the second to poor water over the head. This was my fastest pace for a TRI.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked to water and sat down.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Bike leg and the cramps in the calves

Event comments:

For a first year race this was well organized and attended. The course is a good one. There was plenty of food and drinks after the race.
