Pre-race routine:

Left work a few minutes early since it started at 5:45pm, and I had yet to register. Got signed up, set up transition, and got in the water. There was no warm-up since I got into the water only moments before the 750m race started.

Comments:

The first half of this swim was slow as numerous adjustments were needed. The last half went well. The new stroke adjustment I just learned makes it so I want to stroke harder, and that wore me out quickly once I got going. I need to build my swimming aerobic base.
What would you do differently?:

I need to get some anti-fog stuff for my goggles because I cannot see through them after they are wet for a while. Check out what the end point looks like as it is approached from the swim.

I ran the entire run course and significantly picked up the pace to the finish line with about a 1/2 mile left to go. I actually passed two people on this run.
