Pre-race routine:

Woke up early for the 1 hour drive, small breakfast, loaded up the bike and took off! Got their with plenty of time to get ready.
Event warmup:

10 minutes in the pool.
Swim
  • 05m 29s
  • 300 yards
  • 01m 50s / 100 yards
Comments:

Swim was a mess. Went out way too fast. I caught up to a second person after the passing lane and that threw my off. He wouldn't let me pass at the wall so I literally had to stop a couple of times in the last few laps. Last lane I finally was able to pass.
What would you do differently?:

Gone out slower, more under control.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

They didn't time transitions!
Bike
  • 35m 48s
  • 10 miles
  • 16.76 mile/hr
Comments:

My time was actually better than this but they included transition times into the split time. I actually average pretty close to 20mph, if my computer is to be believed!
What would you do differently?:

Not much. I pushed pretty hard and thought I had a good ride. Still need to work on my T1 transition.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

No transition split times.
Run
  • 22m 3s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 07s  min/mile
Comments:

First mile was slow - still out of breath from the bike, where I felt I pushed pretty hard. Picked it up during the run - last mile was a 6:40.
What would you do differently?:

Not much, perhaps start pushing harder a little sooner. Really kind of took it easy in mile 1.

Event comments:

Very well done by the Y staff and all of the volunteers. Given this was a first time I event, I was very impressed. Well done!
