my best bike time so far - some headwind on 1st half - I actually think the wind picked up on the 2nd half where it was a tailwind because I had great speed on the 2nd half

my best tri run so far - felt easy and comfortable - trail was flat and shaded and I took a full GU and 8 oz water in T2
Post race
Warm down:

When I crossed the finish line, I discovered I didn't have a chip on my leg.
Wonderful PickleEvents was able to get my manual backup times. Narrowed chip loss to T1 so must have come off with wetsuit but was never found.
Had a donut and iced coffee and stayed for awards.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

14 minutes faster than last year so just keep trying to improve

Event comments:

I love PickleEvents for getting my backup times. My heart dropped when I realized I'd lost my chip, especially since I had a run and bike PR, but everything worked out ok.
