Swim
Comments: With all the wind, I was pleasantly surprised about the lack of waves - the wind was coming from the shore (which means the bike went out into that headwind). Transition 1
Comments: Pretty uneventful - I did put on the race number belt because I couldn't tell if they required it or not (as they didn't have numbers for our helmets or bikes). AG: 8 OA: 21 Bike
Comments: Very windy, but I kept my cadence up. I was surprised that we only had a small segment with a direct tailwind. Transition 2
Comments: Yeah! T2'd faster than T1 (for only the 2nd time!), but still relatively slow compared to the field (and my other times for the legs and T1). AG: 18 OA: 107 Run
Comments: Felt pretty good and was able to hit my goal. Post race
Event comments: I really enjoyed this race again this year. I was a little concerned about the forecast (cold and windy), but I was able to withstand it! :) Last updated: 2011-10-01 12:00 AM

Set up transition and went out for a brief jog (to trigger one last trip to the potty).
Didn't make it over to the swim start early enough to warm up, so I just floated at the shore line before my wave start to get the suit wet.
