 Swim
Comments: Decent swim for having a wetsuit, would have liked it to have been faster but I am a crappy swimmer. What would you do differently?: Kicked more, tended to do an all arms swim. Drafted more, never found anyone to get in a groove with... generally been more comfortable in the water. Need to get the Lake Norman open water swim schedule out... some two lap open water swims would be good...  Transition 1
Comments: Official times for Transitions lost due to timing device failure, no competitors had info... ~2mins What would you do differently?: Overall good  Bike
What would you do differently?: Clearly a "comfortable" pace says I left some bike-ability out on the course... Transition 2
Comments: No official time, ~1min  Run
Comments: Good run, but got a side stitch early that probably kept me from goal time of an even 1:30 What would you do differently?: Go faster, need to practice my bike/run switch - see more bricks in the future. Post race
Warm down: Talking with Alice, cheering in a few others, and then a wade/swim in the lake What limited your ability to perform faster: Swim-ability, bike-ability, run-ability === generally me Event comments: Would do it all again this weekend if I could... would love to do the 1/2 some day in the future...

After several days of no sleep in prep for finals, then close proximity to Love2Tri before her 1/2 , tried to get a good night sleep. Got a few hours, more than previous nights which was nice.
Got up about 5am, ate a mini cinnamon bagel, a banana, a bottle of water, and nursed some coffee. Loaded the van and left for race site about 5:40, got there about 6. Since my race number was the same as Alice’s from the day before, new right where my rack was located in transition.
Setup transition, talked with Alice and Stephanie and then went down to pick up my chip and get marked up.
Got in the water a little early and swam a bit to get familiar with wetsuit and lake swimming.
