for some reason they made us swim against the current. fastest swim of the day was 1:55/100 and that included a field of lifeguards. insane.

great bike. pushed the whole way. it got a little crowded the 3rd look and it was very tough to figure out who you were racing, but it was still fun to hammer a flat fast course.
What would you do differently?:

nothing.

Comments:

Comments:

felt ok. hip was hurting, but i was chasing a few guys down so i went hard right from the start. ended up getting passed by the AG winner early and i couldn't hang on. it's not often i outride someone and then they outrun me. in fact this is the first time i have ranked as high on the bike as i did on the run. not a bad run though. i guess my riding is improve this year.
What would you do differently?:

nothing. that's all i had.

Event comments:

very fun, fast, small town race.
it's a first year race that needs some fixes, but i had a great time and would do it again.

issues:
1. no bike numbers or security in transition.
2. started 20 minutes late.
3. swam up current. that's fine i guess, but let people know that ahead of time
