Comments:

Again they all go out too fast. I just stayed in front the whole time but would have rather not had to go out so fast. Afraid it would be too hard to get around them all later. I was tired at the end as I had up my HR to high at the start. Fun stuff
What would you do differently?:

try to pace myself better and save my legs for the rest of the race. I kick when I swim fast and think I used my kick too much. My legs were very tired

I must not be running in and out fast enough because I didn't do anything here other than put my bike shoes on. No towel dry or anything.

Run in and out faster

Going to figure out what's up with my chain

Warm down:

Ate some watermelon. Had some chocolate muffins. Walked around then hit the muffins again

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not able to accept a higher level of discomfort.

Event comments:

Lots of fun again. Like the rest of my races, I am impressed with how nice triathletes are. Fun to be a part of this group. The intake of free stuff seemed a bit light here but maybe I was spoiled from Seafair. Overall super fun!
