Comments:

Way too many people! I was getting hit and hitting the whole way. A suprising number of people wore wet suits. I was glad I didn't in the end, it helped my T 1 time.
What would you do differently?:

I would get out of the pack faster in the begining. Starting to master triathlon swimming: Breathing on one side has made me a much stronger.

Pretty slow T1 Not sure what I could have done to improve it. I may have started running out of the water too soon.

Comments:

Dropped my water bottle on mile 2! Hard to pass people with small shoulders at turns. Tried not to draft as best I could. With so many people following the no draft rules was a little difficult.

Comments:

Felt like this was a good transition- need race bungees for sneakers.

Wow, it is so much easier to run a short distance! Fixing my position on the bike really improved my run! No sore arms!
What would you do differently?:

pick it up sooner.
