Pre-race routine:

Pacing around and bumping into a few friends...that's it.
Event warmup:

Swam for...oh 17 yds. Yep I'm good to go.
Swim
  • 10m 5s
  • 440 yards
  • 02m 17s / 100 yards
Comments:

First 100 yds there was some bumping and jostling but otherwise I was swimming by myself.
What would you do differently?:

Focus more on good form while swimming rather than just swim to survive. Could've navigated a bit better on the last leg, but overall not too bad.
Transition 1
  • 01m 30s
Comments:

Longer run through transition and running on asphalt made the jog a bit slower than I had hoped. Smooth T1 overall. Would've been about 5 seconds faster had the woman next to me not asked for help removing her wetsuit :)
What would you do differently?:

Consider a flying mount next time, stopping with people all around to clip in is getting dicey.
Bike
  • 46m 53s
  • 15 miles
  • 19.20 mile/hr
Comments:

Got trapped by a few slower clusters but otherwise I was happy with my effort.
What would you do differently?:

Learn how to bike at an avg of 25 mph :)
Transition 2
  • 00m 48s
Comments:

I could've maybe shaved about 5-10 seconds off this time being a bit more focused before I come into T2. Also, I should've scouted the Run Out before the race, as I had to look around a bit before I could start running. I can't really complain though.
What would you do differently?:

Focus and scout things out better.
Run
  • 23m 57s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 44s  min/mile
Comments:

About 4 or 5 good climbs during the run. Focused on pushing myself harder than my last Sprint Tri.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Post race
Warm down:

Ate one half of a banana and got my bike out of transition.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Leprechauns...

Event comments:

May have been a bit too full, but as I was in wave 11 out of 32 I didn't notice too much traffic.
