I remember veering to the right a lot of times. Seemed like I was fighting to get back to the main stream most of the time. Also went too easy on the swim.

Got lost trying to get out of the transition. The exit was different from previous year. Mount didn't go as smooth as I wanted. I attribute this to lack of practice. I forgot how to properly put my shoes on the bike.

Never assume the course to be the same year after year.

I thought I did OK on the course. I went through the course at a comfortable pace and left enough energy for my run leg.

I might have left too much energy for my run leg.

Took some time to pee. I lost my bib in the process and had to run back into the restroom. Oops.

Focus on what I'm doing.

They were giving out salt vials on the course. That must've help since I tend to cramp a good bit on the course. Never had to slow too much on course. Went well.

Nothing

Walked around the finisher tent and ate some free food and beer.


I might have eased up on the bike too much.


I finished the race slower than last year. I'll chalk it up to less race this season and not enough practice at transition. Sad to see a great race being bought off by the big WTC big brand, but I'm hoping it gets more exposure of the sport to more people in the area.
