Pre-race routine:

Got up at 4:45am, ate a Cliff bar and had a Diet Coke; got dressed, applied body glide, fixed gatorade and water bottles. Arrived at race site, set up transition using a headlamp. Had plenty of time.
Event warmup:

Didn't do any warm up
Swim
  • 13m 21s
  • 537 meters
  • 02m 29s / 100 meters
Comments:

Water was very shallow, especially the first and last 150m. Couldn't get in a rhythym at all. Water was also cold, anxiety was high.
What would you do differently?:

Calm down and just swim as best I can. Ignoring the uncontrollable variables.
Transition 1
  • 03m 54s
Comments:

Spent too much time washing my feet and putting on socks. Then I put my running shoes on like an idiot!
What would you do differently?:

wipe my feet off and get going!
Bike
  • 30m 54s
  • 10 miles
  • 19.42 mile/hr
Comments:

The bike portion felt good, I went hard but not too hard. Had a few people pass me but passed them back. The course was shortened the day before due to road conditions (unpaved portion). I would've like to have seen it longer.
What would you do differently?:

I was very happy with my bike, don't know if I could've done any better.
Transition 2
  • 01m 48s
Comments:

Happy with my T2, it was practiced and performed well.
What would you do differently?:

not drank as much
Run
  • 26m 38s
  • 3.13 miles
  • 08m 31s  min/mile
Comments:

This was a PR for me for a 5k run. I pretty much sprinted the last 1/2 mile or so to the finish.
What would you do differently?:

May have been able to run a little quicker pace through the first half (may have saved too much?)
Post race
Warm down:

pretty much didn't do any.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swim sucked, mostly due to cold water and shallow course, otherwise performed well but drank too much on the bike and in T2.

Event comments:

Very good race for a great cause. The RD did the best they could to put it on despite a couple challenging uncontrollable variables. I will definitely race it again.
