Swim is still improving - never felt stressed, was passing some in the wave, still need to push the pace
What would you do differently?:

need to figure out how hard and when to push the pace

Thought the bike was tough - long hills and then fast downhills, usually my strongest leg and thought I would average over 20mph on this course
What would you do differently?:

need to train on more hills
