Pre-race routine:

Wake up @ 5, banana, bagel w/almond butter and honey. Drove over to park about 5:50 and got to transition right as it opened at 6.

Little jog on the beach and a few hundred yards in the ocean before the start.

Comments:

Rough start. High tide so had to start swimming almost as soon as I hit the water. Everyone seemed to be heading right for the buoy and I never really got out in front. Once we made the turn around the buoy it was smooth sailing. Took some time to get my breathing settled.
What would you do differently?:

First 50 is the key and getting to the buoy first.
Transition 1
  • 01m 18s
Comments:

Pretty solid transition. Sprinted out of the water, slowed a little as I came up the boardwalk. It was a lot longer than I expected. Came out of the water with a small group, but was the first one out.
