Pre-race routine:

Hotel: up -2.5 hrs, applesauce, whey shake, banana, coffee, sports drink. got to event an hour before (a little late due to traffic). rushed in transition thus forgot to put on HR monitor and didn't leave any butt butter there for transition. spent 5-10 in water warming up which was great. goggle fogging, friend told me to spit in them, which made a big difference.
Event warmup:

swam some in warm up area
Swim
  • 38m 6s
  • 2112 yards
  • 01m 48s / 100 yards
Comments:

Swim time seemed long. 910xt had distance 200 yards longer than 1.2. Overall, swim was average. More bumps into people than I used to doing. Never felt tired. Felt like I was out for a nice swim. had a trouble siting and had to stop and look much more than I like. right leg cramped up in last 300 yards or so, made running up to bike a little difficult.
What would you do differently?:

Not stop when hit by someone. Don't stop as much to sight. Preventative maintenance for cramps
