I got myself at the star of the first wave but managed pretty well. I had to stop 3 times total, either to site or after getting kicked. I maybe could have saved 30sec overall off this time, but not a bad swim. Came out of the water in good shape

Had about a 40yard uphill run on the beach to get to Transition Area. Feet covered with sand

Nothing

I had trouble with my front derailleur after the turnaraound, and it took the better part of a mile to get up on my big chainring. I only got passed by 7 people, all in other age groups. The shifter issue really pissed me off, as I had the bike mechanic work on it before the race. I need to push it harder on the bike and not worry so much about saving up for the run

Push it harder. I could have picked up at least 1 minute if not more without much of a problem

My neighbors bag had fallen into the slot for my bike. I had move around and pick it up so my bike ahd somewhere to go

nothing

Hit (what I think was) the first mile in right a 7:00. The loop in the woods was hilly, and I walked through the 2nd water stop. Otherwise, a pretty strong run for me. I picked it up the last 1/4 mile and felt surprisingly strong. Maybe I left a little too much in the tank.

Push a bit harder once I got back to the road for the last mile, and not walk the water station.

Walked from Transition area to car (about 1/4mile) twice. Bottle of water, and another of Gatorade


Myself. I think I was too worried about going too hard on the bike and bonking on the run. I had a great first mile of the run, meaning my legs were still strong. I ended up well, too, but felt like I could have pushed it a little more. This was my first ever age group award, so I am very happy about that, but I left some time on the course that I need to pick up.


S2F did another good job with race organization. Course is nice and well marked I've got no qualms with the race.
