Pre-race routine:

Late start so I did some stretching and light running. Watched the kids triathlon
Swim
  • 15m 56s
  • 820 yards
  • 01m 56s / 100 yards
Comments:

I had been averaging 1:30's in all my previous distance swims so I figured I didn't need a wetsuit. I could save some time in transition. I was one of very few not wearing one.
Transition 1
  • 01m 5s
Bike
  • 41m 39s
  • 12.4 miles
  • 17.86 mile/hr
Comments:

Took a gel at the beginning of the bike and felt like I was going to throw it up almost the entire time (run also). I had taken a electrolyte drink before the race for the first time and I didn't need the gel. I usually take a gel after the swim so I did this time too and it set me back.
What would you do differently?:

Only take one electrolyte source that early in a race.
Transition 2
  • 00m 53s
Comments:

Fastest I have done it yet. 2nd in my age group
Run
  • 24m 28s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 52s  min/mile
Comments:

I wasn't feeling good during the run with stomach cramps and a pain in the medial side of my right knee. Not happy at all with my run
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Too much energy (food/drink) in my system at the start of the race made me feel sick and unable to push harder.

Event comments:

Best run race I have been in yet
