Caught up in jam rounding first bouy.
What would you do differently?:

Take a wider angle to first bouy to avoid congestion.

Comments:

Took forever getting into my shoes while pedaling on top. The first section was a slight uphill which made it harder.
What would you do differently?:

Practice transitions more, especially getting into shoes on bike.

Slow start in getting shoes on plus very congested course with lots of slow riders.
What would you do differently?:

Practice getting shoes on while riding. Could have pushed the pace harder.

Comments:

Some moron hung his laundry over the sign designating my bike rack. I got lost and this cost me at least 45 seconds. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!

The T2 time was lumped together with the bike time.
What would you do differently?:

I can't imagine that could ever happen again.

Nothing.
Post race
Warm down:

Walking and stretching

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Execution in T1 and the moron in T2. Otherwise a good race.

Event comments:

A very competitive field for a sprint race. This area is think with triathletes, so the field was pretty stacked. My only complaint about the race was the wave order and the bike course. I must have passed 150 women and old people on a congested 4 length up and back bike course. Next year make the course one or two loops and let the faster people start first!
