Pre-race routine:

The night prior, I drove the bike and run course to mentally get ready.
The morning of the race, I got up at 3:30 for pasta breakfast. Had a PowerBar and Gatorade 1.5 hours prior to the sound going off. Dynamic warm-up and warm-up swim once available.

My chain ring got locked up between finishing a gigantic hill and descending. Wasn't able to unclip in time and got road rash. Walked the bike on the descent and remounted to finish the last 1-1.5 miles
What would you do differently?:

practice on the mountain bike going downhills

Since my knee was all bloody from the bike spill, I had to get it cleaned off a little bit because blood was dripping into my sock

What limited your ability to perform faster:

need to practice going up/down mountain hills on the bike and run portions; try to limit bike mechanical issues next time. Not sure if it would have been prevented or not.

Event comments:

They need to change "rolling" hills to "steep" hills in the race info at setup events. Very misleading to people who weren't expecting it.
