Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 4:15, had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, filled up my water bottle with HEED, and I was on my way.
Event warmup:

I've never done a snake swim before, so I had to practice going under the lane lines a few times. Took a little getting used to, but it worked out.
Swim
  • 03m 45s
  • 300 yards
  • 01m 15s / 100 yards
Comments:

Pool was a bit hectic, I'm glad that I started in the top 5 because from what I've been reading, the people in the middle of the pack had to wait at a bunch of walls waiting for people in front.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, swim was solid.
Transition 1
  • 02m 16s
Comments:

Went smoothly, it was damp out so my socks were a pain to get on. Put my shoes on before I headed out because the timing pad was right next to my rack.
Bike
  • 52m 25s
  • 17.83 miles
  • 20.41 mile/hr
Comments:

Over ride was good except for in the beginning I missed a turn. I was the 2nd rider out and I guess the volunteers weren't ready for us and I blew right past my turn. I heard someone yelling as I went past and turned around, lost about 30 seconds and the guy I was chasing.
What would you do differently?:

Look at my route closer before the race, I should have known where that turn was.
Transition 2
  • 01m 37s
Comments:

Little bit slow, I was confused and couldn't figure out how to put my race belt on. Duh.
What would you do differently?:

Stop and think about what I'm doing and not spend 30 seconds putting on my race belt.
Run
  • 15m 33s
  • 2 miles
  • 07m 47s  min/mile
Comments:

My run is my weakest link, I've known that, but still put together a good effort. Drizzling rain kept me cool. I felt solid going into the final half mile of the run and was able to sprint through the final 200 yards.
What would you do differently?:

Push myself a little harder earlier in the run. I didn't know how my legs were going to feel but they were holding up.

Great job!

And yes the swim was pretty hectic for those of us that started near the end.
