Pre-race routine:

Warm up - jog around park.... light swim prior to my heat
Swim
  • 06m 35s
  • 437 yards
  • 01m 31s / 100 yards
Comments:

No wetsuit for 400 m swim. Time posted on line combined swim + T1 (total 9:06).... 6:35 was time out of water on my watch. Overall swim was good - felt strong throughout.... lots of traffic at start!
Transition 1
  • 02m 50s
Comments:

Long run from water to transition area through sand.... getting sand off of feet took extra time. Socks & Shirt on went smooth, but all takes extra time
What would you do differently?:

Next tri I will attempt barefoot (no socks!) and will wear tri shirt under wetsuit
Bike
  • 43m 28s
  • 14.8 miles
  • 20.43 mile/hr
Comments:

Felt good on bike - pushed appropriately hard, but still had energy for run.
Transition 2
  • 00m 47s
Comments:

Race number came off of hooks from belt.... didn't impede T2 time, but I had to stop during run and re-hook. Lost 30 seconds at least
What would you do differently?:

New race belt that clips number on - no hooks. Otherwise T2 was smooth
Run
  • 26m 27s
  • 3.5 miles
  • 07m 34s  min/mile
Comments:

Overall felt strong - sub 8 minute mile is all I can ask for. Tried to push hard during last 1/2 mile, but my legs literally would not budge. Kept on pace and finished strong.
Post race
Warm down:

Chowed down and hugged my boys....

Event comments:

Great race - lots of fun... well organized. Started 20 minutes late - my only complaint. Race results posted immediately after race on site! Fun post-race give-aways, neat course.

My best race to date!
