Pre-race routine:

I don't have a routine per say, I just set up bike and gear. I do seperate my socks and roll them down to allow quicker access with wet feet.
Event warmup:

Light jogging to the lake and once there some light swimming.

Much better at squelching panic. Got into a rhythm sooner.

Nose plugs? And a wetsuit for bouyancy.

Comments:

I held back at first, not wanting to burn out. My HR monitor showed under 8 min. for the first two miles but my avg. pace was over that.
What would you do differently?:

I didn't do alot of running prior to the race. Moer training would have helped.
Post race
Warm down:

A bottle of water and some walking around.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

It's always the swim, but there was less panic this time and I can only think it will keep getting better.
