Pre-race routine:

I improved some since last week. I still have a long way to go but I am making progress.

Try and keep pace. Avoid going to the breast stroke.

I missed my transition area.
What would you do differently?:

Place transition matt on other side of bike. Opposite bike removal and exit. Also analyze transition area and mentally rehearse T-1

Comments:

I thought I pushed too hard but I still had some left for the run. Great race.
What would you do differently?:

Make sure I have plenty of room going into transition. Got behind a slower guy and he jammed me up going into dismount.

Helmet off while running bike in.

Great race. Perfect venue.
