Pre-race routine:

Get up early and eat a little to get my body going.

None. With my daughter who did the duathlon.

What would you do differently?:

Need to swim more, and get some open water swims in. Largely for comfort. I can swim much farther than this in the pool, just don't feel as comfortable in open water.

Includes a fair amount of running up from the river, and I mean "up".

Post race
Warm down:

Drank water and waited for my daughter; the Duathlon started after I did.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swimming. Just more endurance training. I did fine for me.

Event comments:

Course needs mileage markers. A few on the bike and at least every mile on the 5K run. Start/End of the bike course is very tight. Not enough racks for the bikes. The racks were absolutely packed with bikes.

In addition to writing your race number on each upper arm, they also wrote your age on your calf. This allowed me to see who was passing me by in the bike section of this race.

The boat was being tossed around. Someone noted that there were whitecaps on the waves. Another guy said, “This is going to be challenging.” I began to wonder what he meant by 'challenging'.

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.
