The site buoys didn't seem to be lined up really well, so made sure to site off the turn buoy as much as I could. Started on the far right and made a start push to get out in front of the people to my left. There was very little contact so I feel I did a good job. Made the turns pretty well and had a good line into the swim exit. Wasn't many people to draft off as they were following the buoys.

It was a long run into transition and I was closer to the bike exit. Got there and dried feet, got shoes and helmet on and got on out.

Nothing

Was having a good ride on the way out. Then came the big ass hill. It was small chainring and biggest cassette. At the turn around, I realized I had a tailwind and was now going into a headwind. Pushed hard and flew down the steep hill on the way back.

Nothing

Good dismount and quick into my rack. Got running shoes on and grabbed my hat and made my way to the exit.

Nothing

Had a good 1st loop. Then the hip started hurting. I think it was all the time sitting on my drive. Also had to stop to use the port-o-potties at about mile 4. That probably killed a minute. Would have been right where I wanted to be if that didn't happen.

Sat in the cold pool. Meet up with some friends.

Raced started 30mins late because of people still trying to get into the venue. If it had been hot that would have killed some races.
