Pre-race routine:

Stomach was a bit weird and gassy so I didn't eat anything except a banana. It was my sister's first race so I helped her get her Transition area ready and hit the bathroom again and again.
Event warmup:

Swam a bit, did some sprint intervals. Had a lot of time bc my wave was at 8:10 and the race began at 7:30.
Swim
  • 18m 27s
  • 1380 yards
  • 01m 20s / 100 yards
Comments:

Decided not to wear a wetsuit
What would you do differently?:

Wear a wetsuit, not go out as hard as I did, draft better. The draft thing was not entirely my fault. Being in one of the last waves there were a lot of slower swimmers in the water and it was tough for all of the better swimmers in my wave to stick together. I ended up coming out of the water about 5th from my wave.
Transition 1
  • 01m 15s
Comments:

Getting going right away was hard bc there were a lot of 90 degree turns for the first mile getting out of the park.
What would you do differently?:

I would have a wetsuit on so my time would probably be a bit slower.
Bike
  • 33m 15s
  • 9.32 miles
  • 16.82 mile/hr
Comments:

This is where my race fell apart. I tried to push it too hard too soon and with my stomach in knots to begin with that wasnt a good idea. I had to sit up out of aero and just cruise for a bit to get my bearings, then I pushed it and the same thing happened. I was hoping to Avg over 20 mph bc there are some nice flats and downhills.
What would you do differently?:

Ease into my pace and not hammer from the beinning. Drink more water and take GU. I just didnt have the appetite to take it.
Transition 2
  • 01m 15s
Comments:

Went into the dismount too fast and almost fell.
What would you do differently?:

Stay in control and cruise into the dismount rather than hammer to the dismount.
Run
  • 27m 18s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 47s  min/mile
Comments:

I am a crappy runner as it is but I really sucked for this race. Didn't do any one thing to hurt my run, I just did not have the energy and my stomach didnt start feeling better until the last part of the run.
What would you do differently?:

Pay attention to my race during the other 2 events to not kill myself for the run.
Post race
Warm down:

None

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Stomach

Event comments:

This is a great local beginners race.
