Comments:

Started in the middle of the pack at the back. Did not find a good rhythm, kept bumping into people. Swam front crawl without stopping for rest. Good finish, jogged out of the water ready for the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Start at the front or to the side.

Comments:

My T2 was slow. It was in a grassy area and I forgot my towel. Used a rag to get grass off my feet before putting on my shoes.
What would you do differently?:

Bring a large towel to quickly clean my feet.

Comments:

I attacked the hills and recovered on the flats. Lost speed and time on the fastest part of the decent on a blind corner where someone had an accident. Top speed was 36 mph. Used a road bike with gatorskins and no aero bars.
What would you do differently?:

Train more hills, get aero bars for the flats

Comments:

Felt slow, trouble again cleaning grass off my feet.

Comments:

Started slow but still suffered a mild cramp 1 minute in. Walked it off and felt good by the end of mile 1. Splits were 9:22, 8:22, 8:18, 8:02, final .3 at 7min pace.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. This was a great run for me. Huge improvement over my first tri. Just need to train more.
