Comments:

Felt great in the swim. First open water swim without any breast stroke.
What would you do differently?:

On first bouy I should have stayed to the right to avoid the pile-up at the turn. I should have sighted better versus using the the pack. At one point I was easily 15 yards off to the side and had to waste time moving back inline.

Need to remember body glide, and verify nutrition is set up for bike.

Need to continue my work on the bike. Lost too much time here.
What would you do differently?:

verify speedometer is working - not knowing speed I think affected when I was pushing and not pushing.

Good Transition, need quick laces for running versus tying them.
What would you do differently?:

have feet out of shoes before dismounting.

Run felt good and strong, used the water over the head for the first time and it helped keep me cool.
What would you do differently?:

Start my push a little further out. Need to work on the first mile as the legs shift from bike to run
Post race
Warm down:

Walked a bit

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Need more time on the bike

Event comments:

Great race, very pleased with how it went. To me it was a great community race that was well run. My only improvements would be more bike racks. I really enjoyed the day.
