Did not feel good at all until about half way through. I just cant get used to people hittin my feet and running into people.

Just stay calm and focus on getting through it

Wetsuit got stuck on the massive timing chip and i had to sit to get out of it. Not an efficient transition

I felt very good on the bike. Really worked on hills this year and it paid off. Kept getting passed on the downhills though...
What would you do differently?:

I think i just need to upgrade the bike. I got as much as i could out of the converted road bike

Could have done it faster. No sense of urgency for some reason
What would you do differently?:

Get in and get out faster. 16 seconds here could have gotten me under 1:24

Could have pushed it harder. Felt a couple twinges and just didnt put it into that higher gear.

Push myself just a little bit harder
Post race

Stretched, saw the family, cheered on a training partner

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Transitions and mental toughness. Let my head get the best of me in th eswim and run portion

Event comments:

Great race for a great cause and a good start for the season. No swag bag this year and they got started late.
