Comments:

roughest swim start I've been involved with...a bunch of pretty quick swimmers out there trying to all make the same turn around the buoy.
What would you do differently?:

get out a little harder ahead of the crowd

Arms were too tired to get the suit off immedietly which cost me the most time

Comments:

thought I was having a pretty solid bike leg, I was passing people or holding my own for most of the bike, which was the first time in a while where I don't think I got passed by anyone who came out of the water after me on the bike.
What would you do differently?:

fitness on the bike still needs improvement

Comments:

solid run but my core felt like shit. It was in the top part of my stomach where I was feeling cramps...I took water at the start of the run, which might have been a bad idea because I haven't practiced hydrating while running in a while.

Nice race, wouldn't travel that far again if it weren't for the olympic trials and collegiate nationals the day before
