Hammered this ride. How do I get even faster? I don't feel like I let up much at all. Just all out sprinting the whole time.

Drink a bit more. Perhaps grind harder?

Comments:

I believe my time is a bit slow due to a mismeasured course but perhaps it was me. Even at 630 Im still not running well compared to my usual pacing. I think I am just blowing it all out on the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Get more fit so I have more left in the tank after the bike. Dont want to give up that speed. Push it harder during the race?
Post race
Warm down:

A few drinks of water, pal around, walk it off, pack up and get out asap

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Inexperience in swimming, overperforming in bike, not pushing harder in running.

Event comments:

Nice group of triathletes. Easy to make friends. A bit more in race packet in terms of updated race info. was desirable. Good food after.Excellent race timing. All in all a great time. I'd like to go back tot his upstart race with nice upside for the future.
