Comments:

should have drafted off of a swimmer of similar ability instead I used allot of energy passing him about 1/3 of the into swim. He drafted off me until the last lap and then blew by.
What would you do differently?:

draft if the opportunity presents itself. Train for swimming more.

Event comments:

The only problem I saw was that there were no more volunteers to give instructions to the last cyclists that came into transition. Myself and another person. Had to help out a few of the last women cyclists so they new where to go next. It is not good to abandon the transition areas prior to the last athlete coming in.
