Pre-race routine:

Up at 4:30 (too late), ate a piece of toast and peanut butter and half a clifbar and pounded water. Packed the car, drove over to the race, unloaded my gear and set-up transition. Didn't warm up, AGAIN. Need to leave earlier.
Event warmup:

Zero. boo...
Swim

  • 805 meters
  • 02m 11s / 100 meters
Comments:

Probably my poorest swim to date. Got punched in the face which caused me to panic in the water big time. I had to flip over on my back and float for a minute or two to regain my composure. Goggles fogged continually, couldn't spot well, felt slow.
What would you do differently?:

Try to remain more calm and make sure my goggles get anti-fog.
Transition 1
  • 01m 25s
Comments:

Fairly good transition, but I had trouble getting into my shoes. Need to get some rubberbands or something.
What would you do differently?:

Not much, just move faster.

Decent ride, although I could've pushed harder on such a short ride.
What would you do differently?:

Go faster and drink a little more. Need to work on hills.
Transition 2
  • 01m 29s
Comments:

Couldn't get my right sock on! Remember to vaseline them.
What would you do differently?:

Vaseline.

Comments:

My Garmin said I did 3.25 miles in 25:33. Who knows. got hot toward the end but ran fast for me. Need to work on breathing.
What would you do differently?:

Unzip my suit more and get faster!
Post race

Panic in the water and not pushing myself hard enough on the bike.
