I thoguht the swim went pretty well. Felt like I sighted pretty well, never got too off course, I don't think. Was tired by the end, but wasn't totally gassed. Was a bit disappointed to see i was 8/14
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Good first race back

Comments:

Having the 3rd fastest T1, despite walking thte whole way, I was thrilled. I did a little speedy shuffle a little, and the knee didn't feel too bad. I was expecting to have a very slow T1 relative to everyone else, thoguh.

I though tthis would be MUCH slower. Legs felt good, knee NEVER bothered me. I kept it right at teh red line the whole way. Couldn't have gone much faster. Was only a min or so slower than last time, although this was a slightly different course. My nPower was 20W lower than last race pre-op, though.
What would you do differently?:

nothing, get back to training more
Post race
Warm down:

rode around with Bill on the run course watching Gannon

Event comments:

I love this race. My first race back after knee replacement and only about 5 bike rides. I was thrilled with my time and how good I felt. Great to get back into racing and into the tri scene again.
