Comments:

Right when I got into the water my goggles fogged up and it was overcast. I really couldnt see anything but wasnt going to stop in the surf and try to fix them. I made it past the surf and to the 1st buoy and tried to fix my goggles but couldnt get them right so I just proped them on my head continued to swim
What would you do differently?:

Need to get some new goggles and put some anti-fog in them.

The bike was good. Climed out of the Trans with no problem and got into a good pace. Thought I did it a little faster but felt good.

I could have pushed it a little bit harder.

My left shin and foot started to hurt during the 1st 1.5 mile but it was okay the 2nd half of the race.

Work on a longer stride, push it a little harder the 2nd half.

Warm down:

Finished and got some water and oranges and a banana. Streched a little.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Couldnt really get into a good rhythm during the swim and legs sorta hurt at the beginning of the run.

Event comments:

This was a really good race. The course was challenging but not too bad. It was well organized and eveyone was real helpful. I am excited to do it next year for the 30th anniversary!
