Rough start, girls were fighting for a spot, at least around me. Got a few hits to the face, some water down the throat. Once we got to the first buoy, it was smooth sailing.
Transition 1
  • 02m 16s
Comments:

SLOW. Wetsuit gave me trouble.
What would you do differently?:

May not have worn it as it was borderline legal. Not sure if I made up that time it took getting it off on the swim by wearing it.

Best bike I've had on this course. Not counting the bottleneck to get into the last few hundred feet before transition, was averaging much closer to a 19 which is great for me on a hilly course.

Decent T2 for me.

Just not running as fast as I could two years ago. Happy given a slightly hilly, grass course.

Event comments:

Missed an AG award though I was 7th overall out of 150 or so women. Wouldn't you know the 4th, 5th and 6th place girls were all in my AG. To make matter's worse, the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th (me) place were all separated by less than a minute. I didn't realize any of the girls were that close or I might have found a little tiny bit more for that run. My first race with no AG or overall award, but still a course PR for me.
