Pre-race routine:

Up at 5:30. Had 1/2 bagel with PB, a banana and some water. Got a Timmy's coffee en route. Arrived at race site at 7:15. Set up in transition area which was almost full for my AG! Met my fried from work and wandered the site.
Event warmup:

Short jog and dip 1/2 before start time.
Swim
  • 09m 10s
  • 375 meters
  • 02m 26s / 100 meters
Comments:

The water was beautiful! The swim is my best event and I know I should try to be close to the front at the start. I get too polite and let others in front just to make it difficult for me to pass them later.
What would you do differently?:

Push for my space near the front.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

Too slow in the transition. 2 1/2 minutes! I had to wash the sand off my feet and put on socks and shoes.
What would you do differently?:

Get the "elastic" laces.
Bike
  • 31m 44s
  • 10 kms
  • 18.91 km/hr
Comments:

Hilly. The roads were not closed and at one point we were passing cars on the LEFT! It was tough going over the bridge with cars. I passed people UP the hills but they seemed to pass me going DOWN the hills. Had a very soft rear tire that didn't help at all.
In my innocent newbie way... I didn't know you pedaled down the hills. I know know and will practice
What would you do differently?:

MORE BIKE TRAINING!
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Easy transition as I bike in my running shoes. All I needed to do was trade the helmet for my hat.
Run
  • 15m 10s
  • 2.5 kms
  • 06m 04s  min/km
Comments:

Better than I thought. I was going for 18 min. Loved the trail part of the run.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around the site.
Ate a hot dog, cookie and some sample post workout drink.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training.

Event comments:

Great event series especially for the beginner.
