Comments:

Decent swim out of the water at the back of the front back. The 400 yd run without shoes was painful. The swim times includes the run to Transition which take a couple of minutes.

Felt good on the course, so many pothols/bumps to feel completely at ease. I was hammer though through most of the sections. Being in Wave 1 was nice, as LSD was completely empty.

Feet hurt running through T1 without shoes..should have left them on my bike.
