Pre-race routine:

Left hotel at 5 for starbucks. Stopped for oatmeal and coffee and was at the race by 6:15. Plenty of set up and warm up time
Event warmup:

Ran enough to get really warm. Temp was up, so it was easy. Then got on the wetsuit and got a good swim.

Comments:

Not a bad swim. Went out a little hard and was breathless by the first turn. Backed off a bit and was solid for the balance of the swim. Came out of water in good shape.
What would you do differently?:

Keep training
Transition 1

Trouble getting my suit off that cost me a few seconds. Other than that, not bad. Had my chain on the small ring and threw my chain TWICE at the start. What a way to start the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Threw my chain TWICE at the start. Gawd. Started to peddle, doink. Get off, get chain on, get on, start to peddle....doink, get off, do it again, shift up. Got passed by a lot of guys. I lost at least 30 seconds. Hit it really hard after that!
What would you do differently?:

Make sure my chain is set when I set up my bike in the morning.

Event comments:

Another good Budu race. I've done this race three years in a row. Budu does a nice job. As long as the pavement is dry it's a fast fun bike ride. If wet, watch out as the pavement is slick. The run has a few modest hills, so be ready. Swim is very easy.

My first triathlon was at age 56. At first I was just the cameraman at my daughter's first triathlon, then I am doing the races that she has done.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had luck with moving to a five-stroke breathing pattern. Is this okay for endurance swimming? What are its benefits and drawbacks?

I think quite truly for the first time I 'get it'. It's not just about the fitness. It's not just about the great little endorphin rush as you hit 5, 10, 15 miles...its not just the medal at the end.
