I felt great during the swim- this is backwards for me. I feel this has been my greatest improvement in the off-season and will continue to improve. Let's see how open water swimming goes...
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

They included T1 time into the bike split, and I forgot to start my watch so I have no idea how long it took. Everything went well except my big rookie mistake- I forgot to zip up my jacket, so I had that flapping in the wind as I rode off.
What would you do differently?:

Use a pull-over jacket or none at all.

Again this was added to my run time. But I think I did ok.

It was hard to run this course, it was really sloppy. Did the best I could given the conditions.

The weather, lack of time on the bike

Event comments:

This was a great race for me to figure out everything I need to work on to improve for my A and B races this summer. The volunteers and organizers for this event were great!
