Comments:

My first OWS and wave start. I was totally different than I expected.
What would you do differently?:

Spent a week doing OWS in the ocean, just getting comfortable with any condition thrown my way.
Transition 1
  • 03m 11s
Comments:

The soft sand run into T1 is what slowed folks down.
What would you do differently?:

I learned to take a few seconds and settle down if things aren't going well and enjoy the course.
Bike
  • 35m 45s
  • 13 miles
  • 21.82 mile/hr
What would you do differently?:

Slow down a little if the pace is too hard and drink more on the bike prior to the run. The humidity was high.
Transition 2
  • 00m 38s
Comments:

This went smooth.
Run
  • 25m 47s
  • 3 miles
  • 08m 35s  min/mile
Comments:

Went out too hard on the bike which zapped my energy for the run. This is a worse pace than a easy training day.
What would you do differently?:

Drink more and consume a gel on the bike if the energy feels like its slipping.

Event comments:

I would do this again to practice the OWS...it was an easier race because it was flat.
