Comments:

Not great for me, I felt really unsure of my swim which is pretty unusual.
What would you do differently?:

More open water practice. Swimming in a 25 yd pool gives you the break of a flip turn and I think that made me feel a little odd. Overall, a poorer awim than expected, but damn it was cold.

Comments:

Nice ride. A little slow out of the box getting HR down from swim. Crushed the downhills. Took the uphills a little lighter than I would liked to have, probably lost a minute or 2 total.
What would you do differently?:

A little more vigor out of the box and on uphills

Fantastic dismount made the transition, lost no time on bike to off bike.

Event comments:

Fun stuff and ahead of my 1:10 goal. I got my first earned medal so that is really cool.
