Pre-race routine:

Woke up around 5:00 and had my usual bowl of cereal and cup of coffee. I got to the bike racks around 6:45 (opened at 6:30) and got a place on the end of the rack. Got all checked in and then hung out with the wife until the start.
Event warmup:

I did normal stretching but I should have jumped in the pool and swam a couple of laps. I will know this the next time around.
Swim
  • 06m 37s
  • 383 yards
  • 01m 44s / 100 yards
Comments:

I started out way too fast. I let the adrenaline of the start get to me and did my first 100M in about 1:20. I gassed out pretty bad and ended up basically walking to transition and losing a couple minutes.
What would you do differently?:

Start slower. Stay at my estimated pace.
Transition 1
  • 03m 24s
Comments:

Was really gassed from the swim. Could have done much better.
What would you do differently?:

Run.
Bike

  • 10 miles
  • 17.75 mile/hr
Comments:

I wasn't able to go as hard as I wanted to at the beginning of the bike from being winded from the swim. Really screwed the whole ride up. Finally settled into a nice pace about half-way through.
What would you do differently?:

Save energy on swim and hammer the bike.
Transition 2
  • 01m 20s
Comments:

Took a tumble getting off my bike. Nothing serious just didn't get my left shoe unclipped in time. Slowed me down by a few seconds though
What would you do differently?:

Not fall...haha.
Run
  • 21m 19s
  • 2.6 miles
  • 08m 12s  min/mile
Comments:

I was a little more tired than I would have liked to been and I really didn't push the run as hard as I could have. Next time I will definatley keep my miles under 8:00 pace.
What would you do differently?:

Run harder.
Post race
Warm down:

Hung out and got some water and fruit.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Going out too hard on the siwm.

Event comments:

Very well organized. There were plenty of friendly volunteers along the way to keep you on track.
