Pre-race routine:

Half of a peanutbutter sandwich and a cup of coffee. Arrived early; met Marty and Greg. Set-up transition area then went inside. Walked around and did some stretching. Felt calm.
Event warmup:

More stretching and breathing...should have brought my heart rate up a little more.
Swim
  • 08m 29s
  • 437 yards
  • 01m 56s / 100 yards
Comments:

First half was very crowded...can't imagine a larger race with everyone starting at once. I finally got through a traffic-jam of slower swimmers, and the last 200yds were smooth and fast.
What would you do differently?:

More warm-up to get my breathing going.
Transition 1
  • 04m
Comments:

T1 went fine. Got dressed and even put on my number belt (for the run) to save a couple seconds in T2. Took an Endurolyte, and ran to the mounting area.
What would you do differently?:

Could have moved faster. I spent a few seconds looking around and taking in the whole experience...i was having a blast.

Comments:

Rode great and felt great. I was passing people, shifting gears, hydratting...then, at 7.25 miles, the fit hit the shan. FLAT TIRE!!!
DNF - was one of my more painful and dissappointing experiences in recent years.
What would you do differently?:

Bring a spare? What a great idea.

Event comments:

Despite my missfortune on the course, it was a great race that I would recommend to others.
