Took too long in T1. Had trouble getting into my cycling jersey...felt frantic, and couldn't seem to get my arms in the sleeveless arm holes. Finally just put my head through and headed out. By 1st mile I had it on properly. Next time I'll be a little more calm with it.

Took it pretty slow out of T2 just to get my legs loose. Last half of run I really picked it up quite a bit. Strong finish...felt great!

Event comments:

Had an absolute blast! Up until now, I have only competed running races. This was by FAR, the most fun.

Pace is a bit off. The actual run portion of this race was less than 4 miles. I believe the 4 mile designation accounts partly for our run from the water, up the beach, and into T1. I think the actual run segment was more like 3.5 miles. I'd like to know exactly if anyone has this info.
Course: Paved trail for the two miles out, then up a nice flight of stairs onto the top of Ft. DeSoto, down the other set of stairs. Rest of run course was in moderately packed sand.
