  • Comments: A fun day. 1st place in my age group (F40-44). I felt really good. Stayed in control and didn't over swim, over bike, or over run. Raced, but stayed in a good zone. Swim - Ocean bay. Water was said to be 76 degrees, but it felt a few degrees warmer than this. I wore speedsuit - way too warm for a wetsuit. The race did a good job with keeping a full 5 minutes between the wave starts. Each wave had a different color cap. I was in wave 3. Deep in water start. I took the lead in my wave fairly quickly. Mike said the 2 people closest to me were way behind. I caught up with some people in the previous 2 waves. 1 big swim rectangle. I had lots of open water. Mike said I was out of the water 5-6 minutes before anyone else in my wave. Gotta love when all those hours of college swimming pays off. ;-) T1 - A little slow. My hair became twisted in the back strap of my helmet. Yes - I should have worn my race/aero helmet instead of my everyday one. Bike - This was a tough course for me since
