Comments:

For some reason I was afraid of the turns on the wet pavement, so I was taking turns super wide. I don't think that cost me but a few seconds, but my confidence was shaken a little bit.
Transition 2
  • 00m 35s
Run
  • 14m 35s
  • 2 miles
  • 07m 17s  min/mile
Comments:

Didn't feel any cramps coming on at the beginning like I usually do, so there was no reason for me to hold back. I ran as fast as I could because it was only 2 miles. Because of my fast pace, I barely had a kick, which I wanted to sprint about the last 200 meters, but I didn't really have anything left.
Post race
Warm down:

Ate, because our race started 2 hours later than it was supposed to, so I had 2 bags of chocolate chip cookies. I almost forgot to stretch.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

A little bit of it was because it was wet, but mainly just need to get faster on the bike.

Since your “A” race is your marathon, which you stated in your question, this should be your main focus. I encourage you to taper a bit for the sprint distance triathlon.
