Tri Indy - TriathlonOlympic

First time in a wetsuit for me. Goggles fogged up ~200 into in. My 1000 split was ~1830. First 1000 navigation was really good. I actually caught people, which for me, was a shock. Last 500 including turns, making my navigation really poor. Need to work on that.

Wetsuit got stuck on my heels, but it was a pretty good transition. Put shoes on and ran to bike mount. Step over mount. I had practiced left clip with a moving swing over, but didn't feel comfortable in race situation.

Practice wetsuit exit and flying mount.

Some rough areas, but I am familiar with the area as I live right off the course so to me, it wasn't terrible. Also, first time on my new T2 clipons. Only got passed by 3 people.

Start faster, I was spinning in too low of a gear the first 4-5 miles.

Tongue got folded on both of my mayfly's, which slowed me down a bit. First time using elastic laces which helped a bunch.

Took the run too easy. I caught 1 of the guys that passed me on the bike in the first mile of the run. Took a gel between miles 2 and 3. Sips of water at miles 1, 3, and 5.

Run harder. One guy I caught asked me "at what point are you going to stop goofing off and start racing?"

Need racing flats with more support for longer races. Need more time on aero bars, stresses different muscles. I felt like I could have gone faster, just not used to how much I need to leave in the tank for tri's. I felt like i was a 6or7/10 on my exertion level. Really enjoyed myself and had a good time.
