Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 4:30, got some coffee and a half bagel with almond butter and jam. Lazed around, took a shower, got to the site about 6am...too early. Walked around and tried to avoid the mosquitos eating me.
Event warmup:

Did 200M swim warmup.
Swim
  • 08m 11s
  • 437 yards
  • 01m 52s / 100 yards
What would you do differently?:

Practice diving under the ropes and probably run before the swim to warm my body up a bit more.
Transition 1
  • 01m 47s
Comments:

Didn't have my Garmin turned on, so that threw me a bit. Felt good running out of transition, despite it being in cycling shoes.
What would you do differently?:

Learn to run and jump on the bike...get tri shoes, and go barefoot to save time.
Bike
  • 38m 30s
  • 12.43 miles
  • 19.37 mile/hr
Comments:

Need to get more miles in...took my legs awhile to get up to speed, and my hamstrings felt weak.
What would you do differently?:

Need to do squats in training and more miles. I would go faster on the turns.
Transition 2
  • 01m 1s
Comments:

Kind of got my usual order out of whack here, but it ended up okay.
Run
  • 25m 17s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 08s  min/mile
Comments:

Was tight and felt slow, but I was going faster than I thought. Had a water bottle in one hand and my garmin in the other, which created some tension near the end in my back.
What would you do differently?:

Hydrate on the bike better so I don't have to carry water.
Post race
Warm down:

Shower at the hotel!!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Probably should have had a goo on the bike, and more water

Event comments:

Great race, very organized with lots of friendly volunteers. Good music and LOTS of food for competitors at the end.
