Started out in front and like being there. I ran a bit wide however. Not great sighting. Had to stop and clear goggles at one point.

3rd fastest on the bike in my age group. Very happy about that. 27th overall. 1min 30 faster than last year.

I liked the aerobottle. Able to drink more than a bottle on the bike frame for sure.

Disappointing (slower than last year) but I think the small cold I had this week began to eat at my total endurance. I was bushed! I lost 7th place in the chute apparently. Damn!
