Comments:

Water was pretty warm and shallow. Kept bumping into people are they into me, probably a bit of both. On the exit people were getting up to early and wading into sure stirring up the muck from the bottom making the visibility zero.
What would you do differently?:

Sight better, and draft better
Transition 1
  • 01m 39s
Comments:

Coming out of the trans had problems clipping in. The shower into transition was nice cause there was muck all over the body. Proabably spent too much time at the shower.
What would you do differently?:

Learn how to mount the bike with the shoes already clipped in

Walked around drank some water

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Had a busy bike week and a 5K on Thursday before the race a good run track workout on Tuesday. Don't know if they helped or hurt but I felt good the whole race.

Event comments:

I like this venue, the water was a bit warm and muckey but it was flat and smooth.
