Started off great (was side-by-side with leader 2/3 of the way to the turn)
Pace fell after the turn, lost contact with lead group and got passed by a few people
Sighting was good, but the current kept pushing me straight when I needed to angle
Saw several people cutting the course at the end (going straight to the exit rather than rounding the last buoy)

Sight more (did not anticipate that the current would keep pushing me straight)
Happy to be in the top 10 men out of the water

Wetsuit came off great

Nothing

Set good pace, felt good on hills
Sticker flapped and then flew off wheel cover early on (can't reuse these apparently)
Struggled with straw in Torhans a little
After last turn was behind a guy who was going slow and weaving so I stayed behind him - likely cost me around 8 sec.

Drink less
Go hard right to the end of the course

Stopped at line instead of before, got yelled at, came to a dead stop instead of keeping momentum through to T-Zone

Practice rolling dismount

Took a while to calm down, get breathing steady and find a good rhythm - hills over first 1.5km made this difficult
Eventually settled into a good rhythm around 2km
Had stomach issues - felt like I might puke a few times, perhaps drank too much on bike
Saw a guy gaining on me at last turnaround and started pushing it. He still passed me in the last 100m but I could have started pushing it earlier
Overall felt good with my time (goal was sub-25 and I did sub 23 including T2)

Don't drink as much
Try to get breathing under control quicker (lower cadence, long strides)
Start pushing it at 1.5km to go?

Roll and stretch


Not being relentless enough (relaxed on bike at turnaround and end, didn't start final push early enough on run)
Awkward dismount on bike
Too much liquid consumed on bike


Evening start makes for an interesting change - cooler, no sunscreen
Swim course is hard (finishing against the current)
Bike course is good (except rough roads in Smiths Falls)
Run course OK
