Comments:

Only 2 swim workouts leading up to race, both in pool... first OWS was race day! Read notes from last year and started out on right side at front... clear path away from center cluster of bodies, but still had a straight shot to buoy!
What would you do differently?:

uh, more swimming before race day.
Transition 1
  • 01m 3s
Comments:

Wetsuit got stuck on heels, but didn't impede much... goofy transition area that required cutting across the other bikes - could be improved. I wasn't super smooth getting onto my bike, but got up to speed quickly and into shoes - one of my best yet. Key is pedaling all the way up to speed before slipping feet into shoes.
