 Run
Comments: Good pace, passed quite a few people. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Transition 1
 Bike
Comments: Made wrong turn at the end of first loop and got stopped by official. Probably lost a minute or 2. I pushed harder and on the second loop, passed many of the people that I had previously passed on the first loop. But my calves started cramping on the last loop. Overall, still quite happy as I averaged >30kph, a personal best. What would you do differently?: Pay more attention to signs. Transition 2
Comments: My right calf cramped very badly when I got off the bike. So had to stretch for quite a few seconds at the transition. Run
Comments: Because of the cramps on my calves, I started out very conservatively. Surprisingly, the cramps disappeared on the run and I was only 24sec slower than my first run leg. Post race
Warm down: Walked 10min to ferry terminal, stretched while waiting for ferry. What limited your ability to perform faster: Wrong turn. Cramps on calves. Event comments: Because of the cold water temperature, the swim was cancelled. Water dropped from 72F yesterday to 56F today because of strong winds overnight. That's too bad as I was hoping to redeem myself after last week's DNF on the swim. Ran and biked well, I'm quite happy. Bike is a PB, even though I lost a minute or 2 when I took the wrong turn. 3rd in AG, best finish this season. No doubt it's because swim, my weakest leg, is cancelled, but I'll take it. Very nice technical shirt. Venue is interesting, but has many logistical challenges. This is the first time organizers try to hold a tri on the Toronto Island, which is generally very busy on the weekend. Seriously doubt they will come back to this venue next year.

Had 1/2 muffin and coffee during drive to ferry terminal. Arrived 7:15 at the ferry terminal. Had to pay $20 for parking! Race was supposed to start at 9am, and my wave supposed to start at 9:45am. Long lineup to get ticket for the ferry. Then the next ferry was full. Originally targeted the 7:30 ferry, ended up boarding the ferry at 8:20, captain opened an extra run when he saw the lineup was too long. Many people were stressed. Knowing the organizers, I know they'd adjust the starting times so I took the whole thing in stride.
When I got to the island, found out that the swim was cancelled because water was too cold. Water dropped from 72F yesterday to 56F today because of strong winds overnight. Race changed to a Du - 5k/30k/5k. For logistical reasons, all waves were pushed back and my "wave" ended up starting at 10:25!
Very long lineups overall - to get ticket for ferry, to get on ferry, registration and portalets...
