Swim
Comments: FREEZING! It was interesting to see some people opting to 'run' in the water down the shallow ends. I just kept swimming passing legs that looked like they were going backwards. There was 1 point where I inhaled a huge gulp of water which made me stop and stand for a second coughing up the water. Other than that the swim felt really good and fast. What would you do differently?: Not much. I think I had a really good swim and I'm happy with it. Transition 1
Comments: Had just a bit of trouble getting the wetsuit off my feet. Then I had some trouble with my race# belt. I decided to go sockless for the race to see how it was. I'm pretty sure that is the way to go for short races. What would you do differently?: If my racenumber is upside down just leave it. Figure out the how to do the shoes already clipped thing. Bike
Comments: I'm pretty happy with my bike segment. I felt like I could have went a bit faster, but the ride the day before took some out of me. I know I could push it some if I had fresh legs. What would you do differently?: Not much. Maybe an aero helmet. Transition 2
Comments: I'm happy. What would you do differently?: Nothing Run
Comments: I'm happy with the run. It felt good and felt like I was going hard. This is a new PR for a 5K for me by 2 minutes! What would you do differently?: Run a bit faster during the first half. Post race
Warm down: Got me some chocolate milk and water then hung out with my brother-in-law and his kids waiting to cheer for my Sister. What limited your ability to perform faster: Training for an Ironman, but I'm totally ok with that. Event comments: I'm extremely happy with my race. I knocked just over 10 minutes off of last year was pretty pumped when I saw the results. If I can knock another 10 minutes off by next year I'll be taking home some hardware.

The norm of getting transition ready and still thinking I forgot something.
Not much other than get in the stupid cold water and try to pee in my wetsuit to warm up.
