Pre-race routine:

Got up at 4:20, heated up an english muffin with 1 fried egg which I ate in the car, half a snapple iced tea. Got there with plenty of time to set up. I elected not to use my wetsuit which ended up being fine because the water was warm.
Event warmup:

The swim was my warm-up.

Comments:

Water was a good temperature, no suit, wade out and tread water for a minute or so before the start, I swam a bit off course and that cost me some time
What would you do differently?:

I need to sight better next year

Uneventful

Comments:

I felt every minute of the run
What would you do differently?:

Train more bricks. I only did one before this race and I wasn't well enough prepared.
Post race
Warm down:

None

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Getting complacent in my training, partying like a rock star most of the week before the race, also not doing enough brick workouts.

Event comments:

This is such a great race. I love participating. I can't wait to do even better next year!
