Pre-race routine:

Nothing special. Made the long drive out to the site, set up my transition area.
Event warmup:

Brief swim, but mostly to get used to the wetsuit and cold water. I had never swam in water colder than mid 70s, and degrees, and this was 56.
Swim
  • 10m 58s
  • 500 meters
  • 02m 11s / 100 meters
Comments:

The only thing that really bothered me about the water temp was keeping my face in it. I had to breathe every two strokes.
Transition 1
  • 02m 27s
Comments:

It took a while to figure out getting out of the wetsuit, but I think my time was ok.
What would you do differently?:

Practice transitioning out of wetsuit.

Comments:

There are some great cyclists here in Colorado. I was hauling ass (over 25 mph in some parts, and getting passed left and right)
Transition 2
  • 03m 11s
Comments:

I had to pee really bad, so it took a little extra time.
Run
  • 32m 44s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 10m 34s  min/mile
Comments:

My legs were pretty shot by the time I started running. When I did run, I was able to keep a 9:00ish pace, but I took too many walk breaks.
Post race
Event comments:

My first ever podium finish!!!!!!!

I do not really like to point to point format. We had to wait on shuttles to make the 30 minute drive back to our vehicles.
