Comments:

Water temp was perfect. Number of swimmers per wave was good.
What would you do differently?:

Need more open water swim practice. Felt claustrophobic in the water because I couldn't see the bottom.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

Wasn't sure where bike was when I got out of the lake. Went out of the transition area the wrong way. Had to turn around and go out the right way.
What would you do differently?:

Make sure I know where my bike is, maybe get a balloon to make it easier to spot. Familiarize myself with the in and out transitions.
