Swam it pretty easy. Had a goggle malfunction and swam the second half with one goggle full of water. Probably should have just stopped and fixed it. Easy swim and had plenty of room.

Tried to take it smooth. Not a strong cyclist. Probably went a bit too hard so I couldn't really gun it on the run.

Felt really spent. Wanted to run sub 7 minute miles but didn't even come close to that. Got to get my biking better so I can push it on the run.

Event comments:

Great for beginners. Good for a first race of the year. Hope the city repaves one of the roads. I'll likely be back. Good people and good volunteers.
