Swam 200 yards prior to the swim start and did some light stretching

Haven't really worked on swimming at all this year. 2 swims in Jan and 2 in Feb. Short race so not much time to be gained here. Slower than my swim two years ago here but not to far off

Outside of putting in the work, nothing

New shoes and I didn't put the quick laces on. After three attempts tying my shoes I had to take off the gloves.

quick trip to Dick's could have saved me 30 sec or more.

Post race
Warm down:

Ran to see a friend start their race, sat to long and cramped a bit

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The work I didn't put into the swim and bike. I did put more work into the run and had gains there

Event comments:

As always great early season Tri. 421 registered but turnout closer to 360. Weather may have scared some off.

I like the shirt and the visor. AG prize was nice too.
