Pre-race routine:

Eat banana, ride bike 1/2 mile to transition, use facilities several times.

Event warmup:

Run 5-6 minutes, quick swim to get used to ocean

Swim

08m 10s
437 yards
01m 52s / 100 yards

Comments:

I guess I didn't swim hard enough. 76th overall very disappointing. Had never raced a tri so short, so I guess pacing was the issue. I swam a great line, though. Everybody else was way out in the ocean, whereas I was right in line with the bouys.

What would you do differently?:

Swim faster.

Transition 1

00m 45s

Comments:

This is a guess. Transition times were not broken out and I didn't hit my lap button on my watch. Good transition, but had trouble mounting bike.

What would you do differently?:

Pay attention to pedal location on way out of transition.

Bike

25m 12s
10 miles
23.81 mile/hr

Comments:

Decent ride. 23mph, with still some left in tank for run.
I got passed during a couple turns though. I need to work on this.

What would you do differently?:

Maybe ride a little harder. Practice turns.

Transition 2

00m 43s

Comments:

Great transition.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Run

18m 15s
3 miles
06m 05s min/mile

Comments:

Great run. Passed three people.
Only thing I didn't like was oncoming people on the way back in. They didn't seem to want to move.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Post race

Warm down:

Eat banana.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swim effort. Bike turns.

Event comments:

Great race for spectators and beginners.
