Pre-race routine:

I just tried to get there in time for my wave start. I am not a very good morning person.
Event warmup:

I did nothing. Lame-o
Swim
  • 8h 50m
  • 500 yards
  • 1h 46m / 100 yards
Comments:

There were several slower swimmers in my lane which is my own fault for putting myself in a slower wave than I could have done.
What would you do differently?:

I would have put myself in a faster wave. I always get nervous that I will have a bad swim and I don't want to slow other people down or get in the way of faster swimmers...

Comments:

Ok, so I know that it's the athlete's responsibility to know the race course, but there was no one at the top of the little hill at the beginning of the bike course to tell you which way to go and I went the WRONG WAY for about a 10th of a mile and then realized it when I asked a policeman (stopping traffic) which way to go, and he said "the other way!" So then I took off in the proper direction after adding a little over a minute to my bike time (which was extra-lame because the gal who won the race beat me by 23 seconds)
What would you do differently?:

Know the race course beforehand or yell "which way do I go" a little earlier in the confusion!
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Again, I didn't know which way to exit the t-zone. Almost went the wrong way again.
What would you do differently?:

KNOW THE COURSE!
