Finally a strong run!!
What would you do differently?:

Not much. Maybe work on kicking a bit more in training. I should have been able to get the woman that was 4 secs ahead. I waited just a little too long to kick.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked the long way back to the transition area to get the bike.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The bike, as always. I just need more time to train on the bike. I am doing well considering I just started in August. Need to have average speed in upper 20s/lower 21s for next season.

Event comments:

This is a fairly small race in a beautiful spot. There were some problems at the start because buoys were missing, but other than that it went smoothly as far as I could tell.
