Comments:

First race it was a mess. I survived it which is the important part but I never got into a rythm which really hurt my time. When I got out I felt good but my time was awful.
What would you do differently?:

Start more towards the back and work on being more focused. Need to look into a wetsuit.

Probably should have pushed a little harder would have been 4 in my ag with less than a minute faster.
What would you do differently?:

Need to work on keeping a higher speed cadence was good though. With such a flat course those who were aero really seemed to have an advantage.
