Comments:

not a bad swim for not having a lot of swimming this year. tried to pace myself and take it pretty easy. swim course may have been a bit longer than 400yds, but not bad.
What would you do differently?:

register on time to get a better number for the start....

ok transition. having to put on socks always slows it down a bit, but better than the LJCC tri.
What would you do differently?:

get socks on faster.

good ride. good avg speed, pretty good on all the climbs. handled the downhills pretty good. someone crashed on the course (he will be ok, but scary), which slowed down the race a bit.
What would you do differently?:

nothing, overall pretty good bike for Oak Mountain.

ok transition, thought it was a bit better, but long run in and out of transition. could be a bit better.
