Comments:

Hardest open water swim I have ever done. The current with the chop was brutal. Still happy with my effort. The red turn buoy's were hard to see with the overcast sky's.
What would you do differently?:

Not much I could have done differently. Maybe work on sighting a little bit better and need some more training in dealing with a stronger current.

I am glad that I prerode the course. It definitley helped to have a plan on where to attack and where to relax. I did get slowed up a couple of times from people riding side by side, but no big deal. I really enjoyed the ride.
What would you do differently?:

My Garmin freaked out in Multisport mode so I didnt ahve my normal lap que's for nutrition.. Need to do a better job of focusing on timing of my nutrition.

Comments:

felt really good for the first lap... then the sun came out... dear lord it got hot... I felt my pacing was good but jsut started to run out of gas on the second loop..
What would you do differently?:

Need more hill training... especially on longer gradual hills....
Post race
Warm down:

Ice bath and then 20 minutes in the Normatec sleeves....

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of serious hill training in the heat... still very happy with my overall performance.

Event comments:

Loved this race. Need one more aid station on the backend of the run. I will definitely keep this one on the schedule.
