Comments:

Advertised as a 500m swim, it was more like 600m. Choppy. HORRIBLE swim. My 5th stroke I got a lungful (not a mouthful) of water. Could not breate had to flip on my back to catch my breath. The rest of the way I felt like I could only take 1/2 a breath.

Also had a 20m slog through mud to get out of the water
What would you do differently?:

No breathe in water, find some feet to swim on

Comments:

Serious wind and rolling hills. 15mph wind with gusts to 30mph. Okay bike, I was still recovering from the lousy swim. Still got 13th fastest of day.

Comments:

Good. But I need to work on riding on my shoes and jumping off moving bike.

  • 07m 58s  min/mile
Comments:

Windy with some hills. I was out of contention and was not in a good frame of mind. HR was only mid 150s while should have been high 160s+, but just couldn't get it there
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swim, Head, not knowing the course

Event comments:

Well, I felt like it was a lousy race and still placed 25th. Great venue, great organization and I decided to see if I could do better the next day - race again!
