A swim and a wizz.

Comments:

I should not have lined up in the back. Frogmen were kicking at me for quite awhile. Then the right goggle was leaky, so I just swam with one eye closed. Very little was actually good swimming and my time shows that.
What would you do differently?:

Check out the goggle fit with a swim cap maybe? Never had a problem with these goggles, but the saltwater and contacts do not mix well

Comments:

this was the longest run from the beach ever. A pretty amazing distance,so i just took it slow. running on the asphalt was not too fun at the end.

This was a good ride for me. 100% aero, right amount of drink. I didn't hammer it, I wanted to save for the run. I think the one-piece trisuit really helped on the bike. I was pretty aero.

Comments:

1/2 on pavement, 1/2 on the beach. The final mile I wanted on the asphalt, but that was not happening. I wish I could have had a better finish, but it was pretty hot. I was glad I was able to go sub-30.
Post race
Warm down:

water, newtons and brownies. Great food at this event

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Heat and the sand on the run.

Event comments:

Course good, volunteers very good. I just wish it could be all run on a paved surface.
