Comments:

The worse swim that I've ever done in a long time.
What would you do differently?:

Not put my wetsuit on, it's very constrictive since I gained some five pounds. Train some more because I'm so confident in my swimming skills I haven't done it in months.
Transition 1
  • 02m 57s
Comments:

Some joker sabotaged my helmet and it took me a minute to untangle the strap. If I ever catch the son of a bitch I'll kill him.
What would you do differently?:

Not swim with the wetsuit for such a short distance, stay until the last minute next to my bike.

A good T2, probably the only thing that came out right.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Run
  • 24m 14s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 47s  min/mile
Comments:

A below average run, I've done long runs faster than this.
What would you do differently?:

Sleep, taper.
Post race
Warm down:

Got the f**k outta there as soon as I was done. Frustrated and annoyed at myself for doing so poorly.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of sleep (eight hours in three nights), lack of swim training (confident that I'm such a good swimmer I wouldn't need it) and an non existing taper since I thought it's a short race, it shouldn't matter.

Event comments:

A RACE TO FORGET.
