Pewaukee Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I think the swim was long. I wore a sleeveless wetsuit, even though a lot people said the water was too warm for one, I didn't over heat at all because it was such a short swim. The water was calm, weedy, and warm. Heading into shore the sun made it tough to see the balloon arch finish, I really don't like not knowing where i'm going when i swim.

I'm usually slow in t1 and the wetsuit made it worse than most

There are some hills but none too bad. My bike training has been way less than last year. I can still do a solid sprint distance bike, but I need to get more endurance for the oly I plan on doing in a few weeks.

Tried getting out of my shoes and doing an on the move dismount for the first time. It went ok except I don't like having to look down and try and get out of shoes while trying to ride a bike at same time. Spent about 20-30 seconds trying to get my running shoes on. I usually wear socks on the bike but decided to go barefoot because i didn't think it was a good idea to run with socks on once off the bike. This made it very sticky when trying to slide my feet into shoes that were already tied.

Having not seen the course, but knowing there were some hills, it was about what I expected. Felt ok not great on this run. Didn't cramp in legs at the beginning like I sometimes do, but did have some tightness in my right calf that I get sometimes. Stomach got a little upset, probably just my body saying what's going on here?

This is a race that is close but I have always avoided it for a few reasons. So this year I decided to try it and it was better than I expected.
