Event warmup:

Got transition ready and went for a "warm-up" ride with team. This quickly turned into some sort of friendly race, but only for about 20 min. Milled about trying to shoo the sand gnats (no-see-um's), and then did a couple of laps in the pool before my start time.

Comments:

This sucked. I never found a rythym, swallowed/breathed-in water, almost got hit by someone coming the other direction on MY side of the late...twice! Got passed by 3 people. HR went through the roof. Need I say more?

Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

HR spike early and pool issues cascaded to derail race through most of it. Had to make up so much time on the bike, and wasn't aerobicly ready to.

Event comments:

I guess I have to wait an entire year for a do-over.
