Swim started off well, then I had trouble breathing almost seemed like a panic attack. Breast stroked for a couple of minutes, got breathing under control. Took it easy for the rest of the swim.
What would you do differently?:

Keep breathing under control.

Comments:

I really enjoyed the course, it's a great area for biking. The only bad part of the course was around the State Park out by Lake Michigan there were a lot of pot holes but they had been clearly marked with spray paint. The Blockhouse Hill is one of the biggest hills around these parts, it was hard to get up, but a lot of fun to come down.
What would you do differently?:

I had been having some knee problems which mainly occur while riding, so I had not been doing many training rides.

Comments:

A very nice run course through the North Muskegon neighborhood. I started off the run fairly stiff and slow but felt a lot better as the run went on.
What would you do differently?:

Do more bricks in training.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

My knee, and lack of training.

Event comments:

This was a great race for a first year event, I can see it getting bigger and better next year. I will be there next year hopefully doing the longer reace.
