Pre-race routine:

Ate a granola bar, banana and some gatorade. Picked up Keiko around 7:15 and was at the course around 7:30. Got a rack and setup gear.
Event warmup:

Short 5 minute jog.
Swim
  • 15m 53s
  • 880 yards
  • 01m 48s / 100 yards
Comments:

Did not rush the start and just kept swimming through traffic. Didn't try to race anyone and didn't stop if I bumped into people. Kept breathing every 2 strokes and staid consistant. Breathing every 2 stokes kept me slower, but not stopping at all gave me a good time.
What would you do differently?:

Practice breathing every 3-5 strokes.
Transition 1
  • 02m 39s
Bike
  • 44m 7s
  • 16 miles
  • 21.76 mile/hr
Comments:

Need to put shoes on first because of strap system. Maybe invest in some triathlon shoes.

Draft legal course. Hooked up with a big group and rode with them.
What would you do differently?:

Continue drafting and try not to waste extra energy pulling the pack.
Transition 2
  • 01m
Comments:

riding was legal in transition area.
What would you do differently?:

try to unbuckle shoes sooner
Run
  • 24m 57s
  • 3 miles
  • 08m 19s  min/mile
Comments:

first 1.5 miles my legs were real heavy from the bike. Didn't start getting into a groove until after the turn. Was getting passed often on the run.
What would you do differently?:

save a little energy on the bike for the run. Need to practice my run pace.
Post race
Warm down:

walked around for 5-10 mins and light stretch

What limited your ability to perform faster:

breathing to often on the swim, trying to pull early on the bike, slight cramp on the run.

Event comments:

They had a beer tent at the end. Although the idea of it was great, the reality didn't taste as good. To tired to drink! :)

Race was personal best so I was extremely happy. Shot for 1:35:00 and beat it by 7 mins :)
