Comments:

not very many people to draft off of. I was in the third wave.
What would you do differently?:

find the buoy and then find a landmark behind it. I kept losing the buoy two.

Comments:

long transition slope from the water to the t1 corral. I was on the far side of the corral (closer to the exit) took a little trying to get the wetsuit off(haven't practiced much with the wetsuit)
What would you do differently?:

Practice with the removal of the wetsuit.

Comments:

Lost my bottle on the first 2 miles of the first loop. SO I spent the rest of the bike without water. Took a gel within the first two miles on the bike(the reason I lost my bottle)Took the first loop kind of hard but felt good even on the second loop.
What would you do differently?:

Get my handle bar bottle back.
Transition 2
  • 02m 8s
Comments:

Because I lost my bottle on the bike I was really thirsty by the time I got into t2. Spent some time drinking and was on the far side of the transition from the entrance and exit for the run.
What would you do differently?:

Not lose my bottle on the bike. Take to drinking at the first water stop instead of in the transition. or possibly run with my bottle and ditch it. belly felt really full after drinking.
