  • 01m 22s / 100 yards
Comments:

Started off on the front, left side (buoy's were on the right). There were about 160 or so in my wave, all male. Amazing how many people get right up front towards the middle/buoy's who start out way too fast and then slow down dramatically after about 100 yards. I started off towards the left to avoid all these and moved into the top 10 by about the 350 yard mark.
What would you do differently?:

Possibly go harder. I never really pushed it but got into a good rhythm and found some feet. Probably should have bridged up to the person ahead though.
Transition 1
  • 01m 12s
Comments:

Had a little trouble getting the wetsuit off and my legs cramped a bit when I tried to pull the suit off.
What would you do differently?:

Not too much, just a bit quicker and more smoothly.

Finally had a run that I enjoyed. Fast for me, but only 32nd best in the field.
Post race
Warm down:

Grabbed a nutty bar. Good enough warm down for me.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The run.
