Pre-race routine:

Got there in time to setup transition area, put on wetsuit and that is about it.
Event warmup:

Got out in the water, swam 25-30m at most.
Swim
  • 20m 32s
  • 950 meters
  • 02m 10s / 100 meters
Comments:

The swim was long, supposed to be 800m, but was more like 950-1000m. I probably added another 100m on top of that, I was sighting off others which was a mistake, came close to shore well far away from where I was supposed to end up. I felt like I was struggling most of the race.
What would you do differently?:

I only felt like I got into a rhythm briefly, should have focused more on my rotation and rhythm.
Transition 1
  • 02m 30s
Comments:

I'm estimating the transition time, this was probably on the low end, I felt very slow through transition.
What would you do differently?:

Get out of my wetsuit quicker.
Bike
  • 36m 11s
  • 12.68 miles
  • 21.03 mile/hr
Comments:

Felt pretty strong on the bike, the fastest I've gone in a race. I was worried I would have nothing left for the run but I was fine.
What would you do differently?:

Go faster of course!
Transition 2
  • 01m 40s
Comments:

This transition felt fast, but it could have been quicker, long distance from dismount to my transition area, which is why it probably felt long.
What would you do differently?:

Just be quicker of course!
Run
  • 25m 20s
  • 3.91 miles
  • 06m 29s  min/mile
Comments:

A water stop would have been nice, but we went through the transition area, I was just too lazy or rushed to stop :P
What would you do differently?:

Fuel belt wasn't necessary, but a little drink in the middle with a gel would have been nice at least psychologically.
Post race
Warm down:

Walking around and getting food!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The swim of course
