 Swim
Comments: I was actually quite happy with my swim. This was my first race since last season and I improved my time considerably. I sighted extremely well and overall it felt great. What would you do differently?: Not much, thought it went well.  Transition 1
Comments: This was a terrible transition for me. My suit got somehow snagged on my timing chip and I fumbled with it for at least 30 seconds. I had to sit down to remove my suit. I lost a lot of time here. What would you do differently?: Not let my suit get snagged on my timing chip  Bike
Comments: I felt great on the bike. I did have a ghost shifting incident where I was hammering it pretty hard downhill and my chain jumped into my small ring. At first I thought I broke my chain. Thankfully I was able to get it back on the big ring and keep going. What would you do differently?: Not much, I thought it went really well. Transition 2
Comments: I still need to master the art of getting out of my shoes prior to dismount. It would save me a few seconds I guess. Overall transition went good. What would you do differently?: Figure out how to get out of my shoes while riding.  Run
Comments: I thought I may have gone a little too hard on the bike as I started my run, but after about 2 miles I started to feel better. Overall I am happy. My goal was 40 minute flat and I came in just a bit more than that. What would you do differently?: Not much, maybe push harder at the end. And also swear more up the wood chip hill. Post race
Warm down: Stretched a little and got some food. What limited your ability to perform faster: Wetsuit incident. Event comments: I thought this was a fantastic race. It was very well organized and all the courses were great. The field was very competitive since it was the MN USAT National Championship Age Group Qaulifier. I will for sure be back next year.

Age Group = 30-34
Age Group Rank = 3/16
I woke up a 4:30AM and had my normal breakfast, took a shower and headed out.
Arrived at the race site around 5:40AM. It was really cold when I arrived. Thankfully it warmed up when the sun came up. I got a pretty good rack spot and took my time to set everything up. I went on a short bike ride followed by a short run. I then put on my wetsuit and headed down to the beach to swim for a bit.
