Swim went well, seeded myself a little faster this year just hoping to take it easy and draft. Did ok with that but ended up having to pass someone then just cruised. Could have gone faster but did not want to expend energy passing people. Did pass two people in last 50. Masters swim really helping.
What would you do differently?:

Seed a little faster.

I need to figure out how to get these faster. I think I am moving pretty quick then it takes almost two minutes.

Really happy with bike, could have gone just a bit harder up big hill to make up some time, and a little harder coming into T2, slowed up a bit trying to get HR down, but went about as hard as I could. Was a little concerned going around corners with wet pavement.

Comments:

Need to get faster, there were two people dismounting right in front of me that were in no big hurry, so I kinda got stuck behind them then could not run around them for like 15 yrds

Comments:

Here is where I was kind of disappointed. Thought I could do this segment faster. Started to get cramp about half way through and just pushed as hard as I could . Hurled at finish line so I think I could not have tried much harder. May have pushed too hard on bike plus it is pretty hilly run course.
Post race
Warm down:

Hurl, water, pizza, diet coke.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Cramp on run.
