First few hundred yards felt tough. Managed to stretch out stroke after that. I started near the front but still passed many people on the outside.

Warm up more

nothing

Comments:

Better than two years ago. Averaged 20.9 then. Actually passed several people, mostly on the hills. Still need to work on this for future races.
What would you do differently?:

Train more by starting earlier in the year. May/June just won't cut it.
Transition 2

Comments:

legs felt rubbery. Went down the wrong row for racking. Added maybe 10-15 seconds.
Run
  • 23m 58s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 44s  min/mile
Comments:

Thought my run would be faster since I trained more than two years ago. Ran a 23:48 (7:41) then, but 23:58 (7:44) now. First mile was really tough. I bet I went over 8min for that first mile. Could not get the legs moving for quite a while.
Post race
Warm down:

alot of walking

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of bike training

Event comments:

Only race I've been to but very well run. Goal was to go 1:12 and managed 1:11:59. Can't complain due to amount of training. Want to shoot for sub 1:10 next year. More bike and run training, less swim.
