Pre-race routine:

Got up at 5, 3 packs instant grits and orange juice. Drove to the race with my son and we checked in and set up transition. Talked with a few friends that we ran into.
Event warmup:

None.
Swim
  • 07m 8s
  • 328 yards
  • 02m 08s / 100 yards
Comments:

Lots of slower traffic. I seeded myself based on a 7:00 swim time. Passed 4 people and was passed by no one. Not so sure everyone is seeding themselves honestly.
What would you do differently?:

Seed myself higher.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

Got going well, but tried to put my Garmin on my wrist on the bike. Stopped to put it on; why didn't I just do that in T1.
What would you do differently?:

Put my Garmin on in T1

Fun bike section. Caught up to my 14 year old son on the last mile of the bike (he started the race 1m50sec before me).
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Fast T2 (9th overall). That's what biking in cages with running shoes will get you.
Run
  • 25m 20s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 09s  min/mile
Comments:

My son got by me on the run and I trailed him by about 50 yards most of the way. Couldn't catch him but finished a few seconds after him.
Post race
Warm down:

High-fived my son for a great race and got some soda/cookies/pasta. Ate shamelessly.

Event comments:

Happy with this race - 3rd time I've done this course and PRs on swim, T1, bike and run.
