Comments:

This was the first really crowded swim that I have been involved in. I did pretty good with the bumping and pushing, but it was new and I spent some mental energy dealing with it.
What would you do differently?:

I'm not sure I would do anything differently. Maybe wear bootys or one of those caps. Might consider getting ear plugs.

Bike route started with a 1 mile climb. The road was occasionally bumpy, but was nice. I spent the entire time getting passed.
What would you do differently?:

My tires weren't pumped up enough. Fortunately I asked the bike guys to pump it up before the race. Ride harder / faster.

Event comments:

Good race. Everything was on time and organized. Some of the roads for the bike were a little choppy, but maybe that can't be helped.
