Pre-race routine:

4:15 wake-up, shower. Nutrition was apple, nut bar, and banana in transition while setting up. First time I did not have coffee before a race, no spots were open.

Swim

  • 400 meters
  • 02m 04s / 100 meters

Came out to strong and struggled with breathing early on. Settled in and had a pretty good swim based on previous results.
What would you do differently?:

Get a few more open water swims in Lake MI before race.

Bike
  • 33m 5s
  • 20 kms
  • 36.27 km/hr
Comments:

Went pretty hard on bike and pushed myself.
What would you do differently?:

Work on cornering and turns in aero position as opposed to coming up each time.
Transition 2
  • 01m 6s
Comments:

At one point I realized I was carrying my bike instead or rolling it.
What would you do differently?:

I need to get better at riding on top of shoes and dismount.
Run
  • 19m 14s
  • 5 kms
  • 03m 51s  min/km
Comments:

Started a little slow while getting legs but settled in nicely.
What would you do differently?:

I think I could have started to push a little earlier in the race. A 5K should be pretty hard the whole time.
Post race
Warm down:

None

What limited your ability to perform faster:

More riding in the rain and stop being such a wuss while cornering/turns.

Event comments:

Well organized for a first time event. Rain spoiled the after party, but I picked up my first age group win so that was cool!
