Comments:

due to the weather started with a short sleeve top on with a sleeveless overtop. started to head out to the run course and decided that that the extra shirt was too much. Ran bck to bike to take it off
What would you do differently?:

take off shirt and leave on the ground at the transition exit to save time or think ahead and take it off while racking bike

Gatoraide mix too strong

Event comments:

The event was well executed as always by the race director. This was original a sprint triathlon but Lake Ontario had waves of about 5 feet at the 250m turn around so they changed it to a duathlon.
