Comments:

Waited a 6-10 seconds after the start to let the crazy people go. Lots of people together on the first buoy turn. You had to tread and some breast stroke. After that I kept breathing on both sides and would lookup for the bouy to make sure I was on course. I was really tight on all the bouys. After I turned the last one I just kept my arms moving.
What would you do differently?:

Swim harder, maybe start with the group.

Comments:

I used my Mountain bike with slick tires (not recommended). Some people go the extra mile...heck I go the extra 4 to 5 miles. Oh Yeah I missed the sprint turnaround as it was not marked. I am newbie should I know that a cop sitting in his car with 2 cones next to each and no signs means turn around. However they did have a sign for the oly turn around on horseshoe dam rd. That's where I realized I was putting in some extra miles. It's a bummer cause I was doing well. I just kept telling myself not be upset you're doing good. On my way back they had a sign and people there...lame! I am proud as I never stopped pedaling.


What would you do differently?:

Check for changes to the course. Use a road or tri bike
