Brutal swim -- got caught in the middle of the pack and was getting beat up for first 100m... HR was super high and legs really tired! Got into medium rhythm after rounding buoy, but just powered through short swim
What would you do differently?:

Need to start on the front line but out toward edge...

Comments:

Long run from lake to T1 on pavement, leading to longer time shown... first race with the aero helmet - knocked my sunglasses off when I first slid it on and had to re-position... cost some seconds but not too bad.

First race with new bike! Legs felt very tired from 12 mile run on Thursday, but pushed hard the entire way. Stood up on hill, but didn't have much gas! Pleased with 22.9 mph average

16th fastest overall and 4th in AG!

What would you do differently?:

No 12 mile runs 2 days before race!

Legs were tired... disappointed with pace - was targeting 7:30 with stretch goal of 7:15... long run on Thursday didn't help! All in all OK run
