Pre-race routine:

arrived early, set up transition area. Got my wetsuit on and get mentally prepared!
Event warmup:

A little jogging, but my main goal was to get in the COLD water and get acclimated.

Comments:

No splits available, i was really looking forward to see how I did on the swim. The water was cold, I got in about 10 minutes before the race to acclimate my body. I was actually in the mix this time instead of being in the back of the pile! I got kicked and punched a few times but I actually enjoy that because it means that I am in the mix. Had to stop a few times to catch my breath but overall I was happy.
What would you do differently?:

Just need to get faster, but I am getting better each time I do an open water swim.
Transition 1
  • 03m 30s
Comments:

Need to get faster with getting on my bike after the dismount line. I took way too long in transition but also put on a few items that I wont normally use in other races.
What would you do differently?:

Normally I am happy with my transition, this time i was not. Need to forget a few items like long sleeve shirt when the races are for real!

Felt good on the bike today, best I have felt riding in a race ever! Love my bike and makes me feel like a competitor. I was only passed once the entire 12 miles. I was happy with this portion of the race. Definitely room to improve though
What would you do differently?:

Better mount and dismount
