Pre-race routine:

Showed up just before 6am and could have used just a little more time. Ate overnight oats and blueberries, and chai 3 hours before race start. Drank PH 1500 on the drive to the race

Comments:

First section was a little tough. Choppy water, and I was super out of practice with a wave start. It was a little congested. Finally calmed down after the first turn. Then things mostly went smoothly. Felt fine the rest of the way. Glad I went with my clear goggles.
What would you do differently?:

More practice trying to draft off of feet.
Transition 1
  • 02m 41s
Comments:

I should have worn my sneakers from the beach. I could have run through transition much faster.

Comments:

Mostly went ok. Did great with my hydration and nutrition. Did manage to lose a rear hydration cage/bottle. Next time I need to tighten screws before a race. Managed the pain in my foot and back ok. Stayed in aero most of the time.
Transition 2
  • 02m 23s
Comments:

Sat down to switch shoes. I just about never do that. Probably slowed me down
Run

  • 09m 58s  min/mile
Comments:

Kept it nice and steady, and walk when I needed to.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. It went pretty well considering the heat. Glad I did a heat protocol leading up to the race
Post race
Warm down:

walking around, trying to eat and drink, packing up all my stuff, waiting for Mary to finish

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not much. Maybe more consistent run training.

Event comments:

Mostly ok. Though some miscommunication with how the swim start would be, also they allowed headphones, and suggested people bring their phones on the bike course.
