Pre-race routine:

We camped at a local campground. My parents joined my wife, kids and I for the weekend. I slept terrible and woke up way to early because I was tired of tossing and turning.
I had a PB and J at 5:30am along with a cup of coffee. I went to the bathroom for the last time before heading to the event.
Event warmup:

Warming up was just trying to stay warm. The air temp was in the high 50's. I waited until 15 min before race time before I put on the wet suit.
Swim
  • 15m 30s
  • 600 yards
  • 02m 35s / 100 yards
Comments:

I felt everything was below average. Mainly because I hadn't swam in a group before. I thought I could have swam in the back of the pack but I quickly caught up to the crowd and got discouraged.
What would you do differently?:

I would swim on the far outside of the group to avoid the crowds.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

My first transition ever. I was a bit dizzy and I sat down to put on my socks and shoes.
What would you do differently?:

Pick a different shirt.

I sat down and changed my shoes before running. I took my time. I didn't want a penalty.
Run

  • 5 kms
  • 04m 24s  min/km
Comments:

My legs felt heavy for the first .5 miles. I picked up the pace during the last 1.5 miles.
What would you do differently?:

I would try harder to run faster sooner.
Post race
Warm down:

None.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

in experience slowed me down. I need to learn to pace myself through the race and still take in plenty of nutrition.

Event comments:

I will probably attend a few more races this year associated with this group. I can use this race as a benchmark.
