Comments:

Biked with no socks in the shoes which was a huge time saver. I also swam with my tri top on which means I didn't have to fool around with trying to put it on in T1. Overall my T1 time improved a lot since Suncoast last year.
What would you do differently?:

Don't mess with trying to get some Gatorade into me. Get on the bike and then get some fluids.

Some of the turns were rather sharp on the course and I need to get more comfortable making these turns at higher speeds.
What would you do differently?:

Need to focus on sharper turning

Comments:

Got my riding shoes and helmet off quickly and put the running shoes on again with no socks. Saved a ton of time.

Nothing

Great that I was able to do this pace after coming off a hard (for me) bike ride. This was a huge improvement for me.
What would you do differently?:

Need to pick up the pace and keep my focus.
Post race
Warm down:

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The heat got to be a bit much as the morning went on.

The shallow water on the swim course was problem for everyone.
