Enjoyed the swim, started off really well, sighting was spot on. Had a little rough spot in the middle when I wasn't sighting as well, but didn't really get off course.

I have a hard time getting started after a OWS. 2nd lap on the bike was much faster. Not happy with my overall rank here, felt I left some on the table.
What would you do differently?:

Push a little harder ... attack the hills more.

Excellent run for the course. Really kicked into gear down the last 1/2 mile to the finish. Really like starting with the uphill, then finishing downhill on an out and back course.

Nothin.

Event comments:

This one is definitely on the list for next year. Really loved everything about the course. The swim was great, the bike course was challenging, but fun, and the run course was perfect with it's downhill finish.

FS Series does a great job with their races.
