Pre-race routine:

Lots of time to set up my transition space...still don't have a good system from Swim to Bike
Event warmup:

1.5 Mi Bike w/ .5 mi Run
Swim
  • 26m 59s
  • 1640 yards
  • 01m 38s / 100 yards
Comments:

A lot of people to have to move through because of the wave starts. Practicing sighting and getting a swim in during the WUP would have helped a lot.
Transition 1
  • 03m 15s
Comments:

Still not any good at putting shoes on while riding (I still fall every time!)
What would you do differently?:

Gotta work on strapping the shoes on while riding
Bike
  • 1h 07m 35s
  • 24.85 miles
  • 22.06 mile/hr
Comments:

A good bike split for me. This has been my weakest part of the race but a good winter on the trainer helped my strength a lot.
What would you do differently?:

It's time to start looking into a Tri-bike. I love my road bike, but I would like to do a few longer races and it seems like it is time to suck it up and try to find one!
Transition 2
  • 01m 39s
Comments:

Gotta work on getting the shoes off!
What would you do differently?:

The Transitions were both too slow, this one was a little better, but getting off the bike was still very unnatural for me.
Run
  • 46m 32s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 07m 29s  min/mile
Comments:

Ran out of gas a little bit in mile 5, but eating a little Clifbar throughout the run helped a lot!
What would you do differently?:

Practice more like the race. Need to find places to hide water along my routes so that my training runs are not quite so uncomfortable.
Post race
Warm down:

1.5 mi Walk

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Transitions!!!

Event comments:

Things were very organized and they did a really great job considering the number of first timers!
