Pre-race routine:

Event warmup:

stretching and some swimming.
Swim
  • 08m 45s
  • 500 yards
  • 01m 45s / 100 yards
Comments:

During the first 75 yards I could not get into a good swim. I was looking around a lot to get in some open water and not on top of someone. After that I found my area, relaxed, and controlled my breathing. Good swim after the first 75 yards.
Transition 1
  • 02m 40s
Comments:

Didn't have my pedals set to just jump on and go, that cost me a few seconds. There was a 75 yard run from the beach to the transition area.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe set my shoes in the clips and jump on.
Bike
  • 55m 14s
  • 18 miles
  • 19.55 mile/hr
Comments:

I kept to my pace and ability. The road was kind of rough in the first couple miles but most of the road was smooth. A lot of people passed me, they all looked like seasoned bikers. I guess I did ok on the bike but this is clearly where I need to improve.
Transition 2
  • 01m 11s
Comments:

Good T2 for me and I was feeling pretty good for the run.
What would you do differently?:

Try getting out of my shoes while riding and just hop off the bike.
