Comments:

Road was smooth for most of the course but was a bit rough at the end. Would like to pick up the pace a bit. Lost both my water bottles at the begiinning of the segment. Was saved by the water station on the course.Would like to pick up the pace a bit. Lost both my water bottles at the begiinning of the segment. Was saved by the water station on the course. BUT....was my best ride pace in a race to date :-)
What would you do differently?:

Need to chek the bottle cage. Was too tight and was changed right before the race the night before. Need to either loosen it up or switch it out. Whenever I tried to put the water bottle back in the cage (was hard to pull out) it wouldn't go in and would slip off and fly into the grass.

Comments:

Was good. Grabbed some sport beans and had a little water....poured some on me. Put my belt on and started jogging.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really.

Comments:

Felt a little slow at first...but found my groove. Felt really good after about mile 1. Just had the mindset it was a long run. Felt good...nearly PR'd even after the first 2 segments of an Olympic distance Tri...my FIRST of that distance. I am on top of the world right now :-)
What would you do differently?:

Nothing but pick up the pace a litlle earlier next time...now that I know how I felt.
Post race
Warm down:

Water, soda, pizza, walk

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing really...just felt good. I was trying to play it a little safe and pace myself appropriately.

Event comments:

This was a fun race!! I would love to do this one again.
