Comments: The race was changed from a triathlon, replacing the swim with a 1 mile run due to extremely rough ocean. The bike course consisted of 3 loops that were just under 5 miles each - out and back on the same road, not closed to traffic. Going out there was a strong tail wind with some cross wind. But, coming back there was a strong headwind and cross wind, slowing me down a lot. The run was an out and back on the boardwalk, so I encountered the same tailwind/headwind as on the bike, but not as extreme because we were running and not biking. I was pleased with my results and could not have caught up to the 3 women who beat me. This was my last tri of the season (and really the first du of the season).
