Comments:

Lots of body contact on this start, didn't find my own space until rounding the 2nd bouy. Got swum over lots.
What would you do differently?:

Start further out to the side.. not sure if I should have seeded myself further up or further back.
Transition 1
  • 04m
Comments:

Was in transition a LONG TIME. Will need to work on this. Suit came off okay, but then did eye drops, was getting sunny, so did sunscreen. Put on a shirt I didn't need. Wasn't really concerned about going quickly, but I did check my watch and 4 min is a little much! Took too long getting on bike also... line up at mount line
What would you do differently?:

Sunscreen at home before race regardless of conditions. Skip eyedrops unless contacts feel very dry.
