I am not a strong swimmer, and my navigation is horrible. This was a good swim for me, considering my major flaws.
What would you do differently?:

Just need experience in open water.

Comments:

Bike leg felt pretty good. Second lap felt harder and slower, but still strong. I felt the wind, and earo position seemed to help a lot. I was able to stay tucked almost the whole time.
Transition 2
  • 02m
Comments:

getting watch on was sticky, turned wrong way out of TA.
What would you do differently?:

put watch on after transition. Practice leaving shoes on bike if surface permits which this course didnt. Too much gravel on long driveway after dismount line.
