Comments:

Pool swim - I like the no nav part but the seeding could be better. I fat fingered my split to go earlier and was 30 seconds slower than my predicted and lapped everyone twice except one guy who I lapped once.

Comments:

T1 is getting better. Shoes stayed on the pedals, I just need to relax about getting the feet in the shoes to fast. The bike start was up a hill so I just slowly put my feet in and pedaled harder then coasted. Much better
