Sunny
 		Total Time = 1h 01m 20s
Overall Rank = 58/171
Age Group = 30-34
Age Group Rank = 3/5
Pre-race routine:

Had my usual pre-race breakfast of two packages of raisin and spice oatmeal and a cup of coffee. Got my transition setup and helped Peter set up his. Got in a final bathroom break and took a gel about 15 minutes before the start.
Event warmup:

No real warm up. Thanks to nerves my heart rate was already through the roof before I even got in the pool.
Swim
  • 06m 8s
  • 300 yards
  • 02m / 100 yards
Comments:

Went out a little too hard, but was able to hold it. It was nice to do have a triathlon where I didn't think I was going to drown during the swim.
What would you do differently?:

I got tangled up in the lane lines a few times, so I might practice that if I were going to do another pool snake swim.
Transition 1
  • 00m 42s
Comments:

I had a technical issue with one of the buckles on my shoes that I think cost me some time.
What would you do differently?:

I should have noticed I wasn't breathing well and used my inhaler.
Bike
  • 27m 7s
  • 9 miles
  • 19.91 mile/hr
Comments:

I had some breathing trouble, probably from working too hard on the swim.
What would you do differently?:

I would have left my inhaler out in case I needed it.
Transition 2
  • 00m 30s
Run
  • 26m 51s
  • 3 miles
  • 08m 57s  min/mile
Comments:

It was humid all morning and by the time I got out on the run it was also hot (I saw a 71 on a bank sign), so I had my usual problem with overheating on the run portion.
What would you do differently?:

Not sure, dump more water on myself maybe?
Post race
Warm down:

Drank some water and walked around. Then positioned myself to watch Peter finish.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Due to a health issue in the beginning of April I was under-trained for the event, so overall I should be happy with how it went.
