Comments:

Took it easy on the swim very intentionally. Got a bit frustrated during the out leg. I was totally on course heading straight for the buoy, even a little wide, and some idiot kept swimming into the side of me.

Comments:

Just an okay T1. Took too long getting my socks on. Should have waited until T2 to worry about those. Even better, get some running shoes that I can sockless in.

Comments:

Good bike. Hit a massive pothole early on and nearly lost my Garmin. Mount broke. Pulled it out and stuck it in my pocket. Looked at it later and realized I wasn't getting any power data, so no idea what it was. Pretty good result, though.

Event comments:

Good race, but holy crap was my AG fast. Top 3 all road over 23 mph and under 7 min miles. Two of them were sub-6:30.
