Little swim
Swim

  • 1640 yards
  • 01m 43s / 100 yards
Comments:

The swim was a deep water start which I've never done. Was really really crowded, so I stayed to the outside. Hit the first buoy at a good angle. Swim was pretty choppy as well from the wind off the lake. Was hard to see buoys at times.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Transition 1
  • 02m 17s
Comments:

Had trouble getting the suit off. Couldn't get the strap out of the suit and this wasted some time. Put shoes on in transition since bike is 5 miles up hill out of transition.
What would you do differently?:

Do something different with the strap.

The first mile is all up hill. The first 1/4-1/2 is up a really steep hill. Had a good negative split.
