Comments:

I let the guy behind me pass, then got stuck behind a slow-ish swimmer who would not let me pass her at the walls. I stayed on her heels, often leisurely backstroking, the entire swim segment.
Transition 1
  • 04m
Comments:

The run to T1 was rocky and hurt my bare feet. Surprisingly, my leg with the stress fracture held up on the run. I realized that I had no laid my HRM out and my bike was in too high a gear. I was able to fish my HRM out of my bag and mash my way onto the bike without difficulty.

Comments:

Averaged 20-22 MPH on flats. Climbed well on the hill and never got passed.
What would you do differently?:

Work on climbing strength. I "spun" up the hill and could have gone much faster in a higher gear.
Transition 2
  • 01m 56s
Comments:

C'mon people... learn how to dismount!
What would you do differently?:

Dismount earlier to avoid the crush of non-cyclists trying to dismount.
Run
  • 29m 39s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 09m 32s  min/mile
Comments:

Considering the fact that I had a stress fracture, the run went well. I stopped to walk when the pain got too bad, but toughed it out to finish my first tri.
What would you do differently?:

I will never again run with a stress fracture (repeated 100 times).
Post race
Warm down:

Does racing to the food tent count as a warm-down?

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Leg injury
