Pre-race routine:

woke up at 5:30 a.m., had a small cup of coffee, 1/2 yogurt, and some water. I did a little stretching and headed out at 6:30 a.m. I listened to some Bruce during the 45 minute drive. Arrived at 7:15 and had to park about a 1/4 mile away which was tough since i had two bags of gear to carry along with my bike.
Event warmup:

Set up trans area, chatted with some friends and just tried to stay relaxed.

Comments:

Need i say more. I tanked in the water. I could not get relaxed in the water and was constantly gasping for air. The water was very cold which made breathing difficult and the wetsuit felt tight around my neck. I ended up doing alot of backtroke and finished the last 150 meters freestyle.
What would you do differently?:

I am definitely not wearing a wetsuit anymore, don't like the feeling of being choked in the water. The real test will be in Wyckoff next June when i don't where my wetsuit as i did wear it this past summer. Lets see if it makes a difference.

Comments:

Had a good bike time. The course was lots of rolling hills with some wind gusts, since we were riding alongside the water, which made it a bit challenging. I ended up using all of my 24 gears. There were also some pretty nice downhills and i maxed out at a little over 35 mph at one point.

Felt great on the run and never got overheated. Light rain in the middle of the run which felt real nice. Had a small cramp but went away with some deep breathes and long exhales. Lots of GR Tri guys and gals.
What would you do differently?:

push a little after the half way point
Post race
