Pre-race routine:

Drove to course alone, arrived in plenty of time. Many others had already racked their bikes. Stayed at Casey and Andy's in David the night before. Had enough time to use restrooms and organize stuff. Almost forgot safety pin and had to run to organizer's tent to nab one.
Event warmup:

Quick jog to warm-up while Super Sprint was starting.

Stayed with a small group that grew into a larger one. Triathletes are sketchy in a draft-legal race. Eventually broke from the group.

Find a better group to paceline with.

Ran mostly on dirt shoulder. Most runners stayed on pavement. Paced with another runner of equal ability. Pushed hard toward the end. Finished faster than I had expected.
What would you do differently?:

Do more run training...
Post race
Warm down:

Walk, jog, pack, eat.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swimming in a straight line. Bike pacing. Run strength.
