Comments:

This was a double loop swim. It was a triangle swim and there were three buoys total, so sighting sucked. They were also the smallest buoys I've ever seen in a race. The timing of the waves was bad as well. I went off in the elite wave, and right when we were turning the corner to start our second loop they let another wave go off. It was crowded and altogether a bad swim in my opinion.

Wetsuit got a little stuck. The uphill bike mount was wretched. It took me three attempts to properly get going.

Comments:

My bike computer battery died between when I racked my bike and when I got on my bike, so I had no idea how fast I was going or how far along I was. That made the ride a little difficult and frustrating for me. It was a very challenging course with a few difficult climbs. There were probably at least five times where you had to go into the red zone to push up a hill.

Comments:

Not a great transition, but decent enough.

Comments:

The first three miles were uphill, then you turn around and the last three are downhill. I realized pretty early that I probably went too hard on the bike because my legs were feeling it. I dropped two spots and ran slower than I typically do in a race, but it was an alright run considering I guess. The first half of the run seemed never ending going up the hills. It was nice to turn around and know I would be running downhill for pretty much the rest of the run.

I took home a 12 pack of beer and a pint glass. Great awards!
