Comments:

Just went with the swim, the goal was to push it but not get to the point where I would be dead for the bike. The water was nice but it was very murky, had to swim through some of the waves in front, but overall it was not that bad. Never felt like I pushed too hard.

Thought this bike course would have more hills, but it was surprisingly flat and the legs felt good so I went with it. There were a couple of places at the end where there was some nice headwind especially coming into T2. But coming down the access road of 130 there was a nice tailwind and I just dropped the hammer and let it rip. Overall happy with this ride.

Good dismount coming into T2, the dismount line was like right at the entrance to transition. had an issue getting one of my shoes on and that cost me a few seconds.

Comments:

The goal for the run was to not push too hard. Headed out of T2 and immediately noticed that there was a pebble in my left shoe, which was not comfortable. Just ran, and did not really know how fast I was running. The run was pretty uneventful, until mile 2.5 when Yorek blew by me running 4:51 miles, that dude is fast.
