Pre-race routine:

Early to arrive, relaxed, had plenty of time to set-up transition
Event warmup:

Swim warm-up before wave start
Swim
  • 30m 6s
  • 1640 yards
  • 01m 50s / 100 yards
Comments:

Good steady pace. I went out moderately and then pushed a little more on the second half.
What would you do differently?:

Haven't focused much on swimming in my training, so the swim was about as good as could be expected.
Transition 1
  • 01m 15s
Comments:

Transition was fast, but I can't take all the credit. Working for the title sponsor has it's perks. We had a reserved rack very close to the both T1 entry and exit.
Kept the transition very very simple. Wetsuit off, helmet on, go.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Comments:

Pace felt good. Last year I pushed hard and had little left for the run. The training has paid off and I was able to ride faster while still keeping something in the bank for the run.
Transition 2
  • 02m 9s
Run
  • 52m 40s
  • 6.51 miles
  • 08m 05s  min/mile
Comments:

Felt OK on the run. More focus on running in training has helped a lot, but still, this pace was not up to my expectation.
What would you do differently?:

More brick training is needed.
Post race
Warm down:

No real warm-down to speak of.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training! But overall I am very happy with the results given my limited training schedule.
