Comments:

Got off to a good start and settle into a smooth stroke. I got hit in the right eye at the first buoy. After rounding I was able to fix the goggle that got punched. Did very well at spotting and rounding buoys.
What would you do differently?:

Continue to work on my form and technique and hope it translates to getting faster.

My quads were very tight when I started, just got into a comfortable pace that I could maintain, then pushed it hard for the last 1/2 mile in.My Garmin had the run at 3.2 miles.

Continue to do my run workouts along with more bricks..
Post race
Warm down:

Nothing really, talked to some friends then had some water and a piece of cheese pizza.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I didn't taper this week because of my build week for my Augusta training. My legs were sore after the bike ride.

Event comments:

This is a great race. I will look at doing it again next year and try to improve my time. Plenty of volunteers and great post race activities.
