OK, first let me say I am a big fan of DA events - but the timing company, well sucks - they had a legal pad of paper writing down the start times with 7 seconds difference - there is no way I could swim 275 yards in 1 minute.

But - I felt great on the swim - I would say a 4:30 to 5:00 should be the time, passed one person and only got passed once.

Get a timing company that knows what they are doing, this one is terrible.

Long way to the mount line size I had a low number - you had to do a 90 degree turn to mount the bikes, not bad but could be better.

None - lost my bike coming out of the pool - went to the second rack so I could have shaved some time off

OK, everyone got this as a 13.2 mile course - DA has missed this one, the wind was OK but strong, it would push you to the side. Two spots had some head wind but it could have been worse.

Practice, this was the first race of the year for me,

OK, could have been faster - decided to go with socks, should have dumped them and shaved some time

drop the socks

Slow - been slowly working on the run, tried to keep the HR low but said screw that and kicked in the last mile

Work on running

Walked around, talked with some people


practice


I would give this 5 stars but the timing issues really suck, the race results are late getting posted and writing down the times on a legal paid, well that is just bad.
