Pre-race routine:

Got up around 5:30. Slept really poorly. I was nervous, and excited about the first race of the season.
Event warmup:

None. I wanted to do a swim warm up, but it was cold and a little breezy, so I thought I would be better not to.

Comments:

I hadn't practiced doing flip turns under the ropes, so ever other flip turn was weird. I started out hard, but then consciously backed off a little. Slow turns didn't help my time.
What would you do differently?:

Practice turns

Comments:

Didn't clip my shoes to the bike before hand. Not a bad decision, but I probably lost and extra 10 seconds in transition.
