Comments:

Water was pretty cold, the warm up helped get used to it bigtime. I started off to the left and went out probably a little too hard. never really made it over close to the bouys, stayed to the left, I think I swam way over the yardage.
What would you do differently?:

swim closer to the bouys

Used earplugs on the swim that helped a lot, didn't get dizzy at all coming out of the water.

quicker

Not a very good bike, took the whole first lap to get warmed up/settled down from the transition. Seemed like there was a little headwind but others didn't think so. pushed the last lap pretty hard

Comments:

pretty fast transition

Comments:

Run felt painful. started out slow, got to the hill settling in, then got a side stitch after the hill, got it to go away by the turnaround but then got another one towards the top of the next hill, picked it up a bit at the last mile and started to feel a little better
What would you do differently?:

start out a little slower
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

overal fitness needs to be better. being out for the last two weeks with the foot thing and then the motorcycle trip didn't help.

Event comments:

Little dissapointed overall with the race since I did just about the same time as last year, and that was my first race ever. The bike was the weak link, although I was all over the place on the swim it was still pretty quick. Fun racing with the other rmtc peeps and a lot of competition.
