Comments:

Forgot to start watch - was at about 18 getting out of the water. It was a long way to the timing pad and T1.
What would you do differently?:

This swim was much better than at Belle Isle. No current plus I stayed to the outside and back at the start to avoid the mess. Stayed relaxed like I wanted and concentrated on keeping good stroke mechanics.

Had to get bike off curb before getting on then got a little bit of a slow start. Not sure how long this transition was but don't think I took too long.
What would you do differently?:

Put foot in left shoe before getting on.

Post race
Warm down:

Walked around

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I did better than expected as I trained through this event. I woke up feeling unmotivated but once I got into it, I really enjoyed it. I was very happy with my performance overall. Still need to work on swim endurance and running off the bike.

Event comments:

I liked the fact it was on a Saturday. I was a little worried that there was no pre-race packet pick up but this worked out OK. Nice small venue - nothing fancy but well-run. Will do this one again.
