Sun was in face and didnt see bouy and 2 of us missed it but got back on track and finished. It was a reverse is why swim was so slow it also had T2 added into the time and the run to the lake

Wear tinted goggles

T1 and getting on bike and getting up to speed

Event comments:

Not a fan of sprints and even a worse fan of reverse triathlons. This was my first and last for sure. I have called all sprints off till after IMFL 2013. If that will work out im not sure but gonna try and stay away from them
