Pre-race routine:

Spend the day on the lake in our boat. A little swimming, wakeboarding, and pulling the kids around the lake in the tube.

That's the first time I've been able to write that as a pre-race routine!
Event warmup:

Nothing. Sat in the shade with my family and continued to hydrate. It was still in the 90s at 6:30 PM.

Comments:

My son was going to hand off new water bottles to me on each lap, but the course change didn't have us come back to where he was located. So, I was stuck with my one bottle, gel, and a hand off bottle from an aid station.
What would you do differently?:

Its hard for me not to chase these guys at the start. But, in this CAT, the front riders are fast and can break me on the first lap. I need to pace better and sit back a little so I'll have more left at the end.
Post race
Warm down:

Went to the lake for a quick swim.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of ability :) This has been a big transition. The racing is much harder and faster in this category.

Event comments:

These guys put on good events! Props to TBF!
