First and foremost, I thought this race was organized very well. It was easy to park, get your packet, get bodymarked and pick up your chip, and get in and out of transition. The morning started off at a cool 47 degrees, but with little wind. Nontheless, it was a good day for the 2 mile run, 18 mile bike, 2.5 mile run. Here's a pic pre-race in the transition area.
Intentionally, I started off the run at a pretty easy pace, as I didn't want to blow up on the bike or the final run. It was a two loop run around the Jordan Creek mall. This was relatively flat and a fast course. I finished the first run around 16:23 - which average out to a little over 8:10 miles. I came into transition feeling nice and warmed up and ready to ride. As I got to my bike I realized that I didn't unvelcro my shoes, so I had a hard time getting them on which added uneeded time in transition.
The bike course was a flat, fast ride, with one 3/4 mile hill - it was fun going out, but pretty long coming back. I felt really good on the bike, and stayed areo the entire time, trying to keep a good pace and keep in mind that I had a 2.5 mile run ahead of me. As I came back into transition I hopped off the bike I ran into transition. I was trying to unbuckle my helmet, but my hands were frozen. I ended up just pulling the helmet off my head and slipped into my running shoes. Bike: 49:12 - 22 mph/avg
The last 2.5 mile run was just about pushing through the pain and getting to the finish line. The first mile my legs felt like anchors after the bike, but loosened up by mile two. I felt good going into the last 1/2 mile and enjoyed the rest of the race. It was a good start to the season!
Run: 18:56 - 7:35/pace
Here's an after race pic w/ the family:

Nice job! I can't see the new rig setup though. The first shot looks like your "game face" :) Congrats!
