Comments:

Started out ok, but before getting the the turn buoy had a lot of trouble breathing. HR was way to high and I was practically hyperventilating and panicing. After turning I grabbed the nearest kayak and took about a two min rest. after than I was able to finish the swim using a combo of freestyle and backstroke as needed to catch my breath.
What would you do differently?:

SWIM TRAINING!!!!!!!
Transition 1
  • 03m 27s
Comments:

T1 a little slow running to bike. Wetsuit stripper is always nice :) Run was slow due to utter exhaustion from severe lack of swim fitness.
What would you do differently?:

Other than improve fitness, nothing.
Bike

  • 12.4 miles
  • 17.64 mile/hr
Comments:

Legs were pretty dead after swim so cadence was rather slow. started out fairly fast, though it didn't feel like I was pushing it. Speed stayed high until turnaround when my legs finally said enough is enough after the second steep hill.
What would you do differently?:

Day before did a 20 mile ride through on the local trails, including some small hills. Not sure if that had an effect or not, since I did it at a fairly easy pace. I think my lack of swim fitness translated over to the bike.
Transition 2
  • 02m 36s
Comments:

Slow just because of being tired.
Run
  • 32m 29s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 10m 26s  min/mile
Comments:

Run actually went very well, and I had negative splits. Only bad spot was left ham started to cramp at about mile 2.5. Rather than stop and stretch I decided to run through it. That plan worked and cramp relaxed. Looking at my Garmin after mile 2 I could tell I was on pace to beat last year's time so I didn't let myself slow down. At the 3 mi mark, I finished the race with a strong sprint across the line.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Post race
Warm down:

Pizza and Gatorade #3. Waited around for results to be posted. When they were - 2nd place!!!!!!!!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of swim fitness. Had no idea it would have been this bad :(
