Pre-race routine:

Ate two bagels with peanut butter, a bananna, and drank a bottle of water. Got to the TA early and found a spot one away from the end of the rack.
Event warmup:

Got into the water a few minutes before my wave started to get acclimated to the water.
Swim
  • 17m 33s
  • 880 yards
  • 01m 59s / 100 yards
Comments:

I had swam the course with a buddy a few times in the weeks leading up to the race so I knew exactly what to expect. I just took it nice and steady.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Transition 1
  • 02m 13s
Comments:

This was my first transition so things seemed hectic. I had sand on my feet and took too long trying to get it off with a wet towel.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Bike
  • 56m 22s
  • 18.6 miles
  • 19.80 mile/hr
Comments:

Tried to push myself a little by trying to catch as many people as I could. Had a lot of fun and surprised myself with a decent pace.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Transition 2
  • 01m 51s
Comments:

Took time to tie my shoes and find/turn on my GPS watch. It took a minute to locate satelites so I was a good 1/4 mile away from TA when it started logging distance.
What would you do differently?:

Turn watch on after the swim.
Run
  • 27m 9s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 44s  min/mile
Comments:

Started the run faster than I had anticipated but got into a good rhythm after a few minutes.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Post race
Warm down:

Met up with my family who was cheering me on the whole time. Then had a couple snacks and glasses of gatorade with a buddy who completed the race with me.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I paced myself because it was my first tri but could have pushed myself harder.

Event comments:

The weather was beautiful and was a great tri to have completed as my first.
