Great ride until coming into T2. Coming down the right hand down hill turn. The ground was wet and I was coming in to fast. There was a rider coming out of T1 and if I would have stayed on the line I was on. I would have run into her. Since I was going to fast, I went to the left and crashed over the curb and into the dirt. I was out of my shoes with helped out a lot. Got up and ran into T2 with a bloody knee.
What would you do differently?:

Come into T2 a little slower.

I had to laugh a little at your comment about what you'd do differently for T2..."not crash". That was my comment for this race in 2007. Last year in the "Steamboat", I crashed coming into T2 as well! (Only difference is that I had to finish the race with a broken wrist, so I suppose you should count your blessings that you weren't hurt worse.)

Awesome swim! Congrats on a really good effort!
