Pre-race routine:

Was not sure what to eat. Had a Perpetuem drink for breakfast with a cup of coffee. Might eat a banana and a little more next time. I was a little nervious.
Event warmup:

swam a little in the water to get used to the temperature. I was expecting cold water but it was pretty nice.
Swim
  • 10m 19s
  • 440 yards
  • 02m 20s / 100 yards
Comments:

I was a little nervous, started in back and swam off to the side. There was a little bit of bumping but not too bad. After the first bouy turn I got in a groove and felt a lot better, just going my own pace.
What would you do differently?:

Warm up a little more. Head into the beach a little harder, maybe.

ran past my spot. Wetsuit was a little difficult to get off ankles.

count the number of racks so I know where I am.

Comments:

I took it a little easy on the way out. I got passed by some from my wave but then caught and passed them on the way back. Had a Hammer Gel when I got on the bike and one just before I got off.
Transition 2
  • 01m 13s
Comments:

Took a minute to find my spot. Biked and ran without socks and it was fine.
What would you do differently?:

Check my spot before hand.
Run
  • 23m 46s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 40s  min/mile
Comments:

It was hard to get going on the run. I was doing my 10 minute, Ironman training pace. Got passed by one or two from my wave. Passed one guy back and we sprinted to the finsh. I still had a little speed on him.
What would you do differently?:

Try to start out stronger and faster.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked over and found the family. Then grbbed some grub. Biked 4 hours home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nervousness with the swim and slow start on the run.
