Comments:

my goal was to stay at my training pace/intended IM pace. I felt like I was pretty slow in the water mostly because I was breathing every 2nd stroke vs. my normal bi-lateral breathing.
What would you do differently?:

Not start at the back of the group.

ummm...probably should work on transitions.

move faster.

can't seem to get my pace over 20mph anymore. I can stay at 19mph forever but that's not much help in a sprint.
What would you do differently?:

work on sprint pace for next year.

stopped to take my garmin off my bike and put it on the watch band.

I have been training at a 9 min per mile pace all summer. I wasn't sure how hard to push.

Run faster. I left too much in the tank.

say down and drank a bottle of water then ate a sandwich.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

the bike and lack of sprint experience.

not really but it took me a long time to figure out how to post the darn thing so I didn't bother fixing the total time.  My transitions were very slow but definitely not that slow.
