Pre-race routine:

Good drive down the 401, everything went smoothly. Odd set up in the transition area as people just put their bikes where the wanted, so some had really good spots and others not. Asked about it and they said they were trying. Thats all that really counts
Event warmup:

Didn't do much other than swim out to start.

Comments:

There is no way this was 750m. It would be my slowest swim by almost 3 minutes if it was. Heard many people say the same thing and also heard they had issues with the measurements prior years.

Warm down:

Food and water was a long way from finish line. Hot dog or water

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Bicycle seat is still an issue

Event comments:

Race was late due to tree branch falling on course. Having never been there, had to ask for instructions inside of park as to where to go. Upon arrival, seemed like they were rushing around and long wait line even though I was pre registered
