Pre-race routine:

Got to Race at 6:00 AM with Wife (tribarbie) who was also doing the event, Aired up tires, set up transition, and just tried to relax taking in all the commotion.
Event warmup:

Did a short jog around the parking area to get warmed up prior to the swim. Had a banana and bagel for breakfast along with 1/2 bottle of gatorade.

Comments:

Swim was very choppy I didn't have much of a problem because I can bilateral breath so I just switched to breathing off of my left side. I think this race was a little longer than a 1/4 mile though because I am pretty consistent with my times and I was a little long here and I felt like I was going pretty good.

Comments:

Very hilly course, lots of people walking bikes as the hills were long as well as steep. I think it was more like 16 miles as per my bike computer I averaged 15 MPH and was over 16 miles. Although the hills were steep they were also steep downhill, at one point I hit 45MPH and had to ride the brakes a little because the bike started to squirly a bit. I usually averag 18 to 19 MPH so as you can see by my time this bike course was challenging. It was a fun challenge
What would you do differently?:

Ride even more hills and lose even more weight.

Oh my gosh, I shouldn't try to type a quick race report at work. There are so many typo's in that report it looks like one of my kids made it. Hope you can get the general idea.

Nice job on the race! The hills were tough but fun - I agree. I can't wait to go back and do it again next year. Congrats on the sub 10 minute miles on the run as well!
