Pre-race routine:

Awake early. well fueled and hydrated. Multi trips to the bsthroom to pee.

Dynamic stretches and short sprints/swim. I was able to get and stay warm until the start gun.
Swim
  • 06m 28s
  • 437 yards
  • 01m 29s / 100 yards
Comments:

Less turns was more tiresome than expected. I seemed to be more focused on level of fatigue and pacing than keeping my stroke super clean. I am still zig zagging all ocer the place.
What would you do differently?:

Swim straighter and focus more on clean strokes.
Transition 1
  • 01m 17s
Comments:

There is a lot of room for improvement in my transition. My focus was all over the place.
What would you do differently?:

Increase my since of urgency and hone my focus. Eliminate all unnecessary movement and talk.
Bike
  • 12m 38s
  • 6.3 miles
  • 29.92 mile/hr
Comments:

The only thing that mattered was the speed of yur cadence. I do not feel that this was a true test of a persons bike abilities.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

T2 was literally about four steps. I did the bike in my run shoes so no changes were made.
Run
  • 10m 28s
  • 1.6 miles
  • 06m 32s  min/mile
Comments:

Started out too fast in order to put some distance between me and the rest of my heat. This was a mistake. I was fading and had a side stitch for the final two laps. I let the race situation alter my pacing.
My new brooks pure flow shoes are awesome! Even with no socks.
What would you do differently?:

Plan my run and run my plan. Dont let the competition alter my pacing plan. I believe if i had run negative splits like i had planned i would have logged an overall faster run.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk it out and stretch. Foam roll ASAP.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of focus in transition and on swim stroke and not running my pace plan.

Event comments:

I call this course too easy only because of the bike leg. The 50 meter pool was more difficult than my training and the run track was perfect.
