Comments:

Average swim, a bit faster than I expected. messed up my navigation a little bit so I added a little to my race but overall did what i was hoping.
What would you do differently?:

get better at sighting and not get so antsy and constantly looking at my watch. Oh, and don't drink the river water.

Bad transition.

Comments:

I am slowly getting more comfortable on the bike and it is shaping up to be my favorite event. I feel I could have achieved my goal of a sub 1:10 if I did not mess up my nutrition and eat a gel right out of the gate.
What would you do differently?:

Stay more aero, and train harder. Overall I was very happy with my time.

Comments:

Messed up my transition and had to duck and switch racks. Oh well.
What would you do differently?:

very little. just make sure I am at the right part.

a little pain in my knees held me back, but I am quite happy with how I did.
What would you do differently?:

Run faster? there's not much to improve in form.
Post race
Warm down:

None

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Myself. It was a well run race with only my own mental missteps to slow me down.

Will definitely do this race again, was a lot of fun.
