Very rough. Goggles knocked off by the waves. Difficult to get out. Once swimming down the beach the swells very difficult to swim in. I couldn't get into a breathing rythmn.



Practice some ocean swims

I didn't open the strap on my right shoe, wasted alot of time fighting with my shoes. Long run from T1 exit to mounting zone, through the woods.

Understand the transition area better, if there is a long run to the mounting zone I would rather have shoes on.

First race in the aerobars. Hydration experiment Amino Vital w/ 1/2 a caffeine pill ground up.

Out was very good passing many riders. Back into the wind felt diificult, but I was still passing riders. Kept a good pace.

Try hydration with whole caffiene pill.

T2 felt very good except for getting my GPS. I always forget it costing me 5 seconds.

Kept a consistent pace. I let someone in my group pass me, I didn't try to keep his pace, I ran my race and passed him by the end.

The run was at my current capabilities, keep doing everything the same.

The swim was brutal, I wasn't ready for the ocean swim.


Bad setup. Transition area too far from swim. Had to go too far with bike before mounting.
