Comments:

rough sections on the course and the bridge at the causeway had a big bump. It launched a water bottle on each pass which left me a little short and no electrolytes.

try to pick up cadence, more speed!!!

Post race
Warm down:

got some gatorade and a bananna and did some stretching. went down to finish area and cheered other on who were coming in

What limited your ability to perform faster:

additional weight and the loss of my electrolyte bottle off the bike.

Event comments:

Good sprint race, pretty well organized volunteers could have given a little more guidance in the transition area but they did OK. They needed to give a better countdown for the start.
