Comments:

I did not navigate well towrards the first turn buoy. Headed straight towards the sighthing buoy, which was not in line with the turn buoy (for me at least). The rest of the swim was good.
What would you do differently?:

Pay more attention to where the turn buoys are.

I race in road shoes and it killed me. I fumbled with the racthet mechanism and it cost me time.
What would you do differently?:

Get tri shoes for my next race.

My run was ok, not great. I was nursing a sore achillies and this held me back slightly.
What would you do differently?:

Rest my achillies and let it heal prior to the next race.

Warm down:

Walked.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Road bike shoes, poor transitions and a sore achillies

Event comments:

I love Bath County - it's a great race.

I am proud of 2nd in my AG, but lost by only 26 seconds. I gave away 28 seconds in transitions to my AG winner - that is very frustrating. I need to buy tri shoes and practice my transitions. I usually blow off transition practice, but it may have cost me an AG victory.
