For first real open water swim felt really good and was not to nervous...

Not bad transition. Need to work on speed some but was happy and most of all wanted to not forget anything.

The bike is my biggest problem really need to work on the bike segment. If I could take a few minutes off bike times would move up multiple places in overall standings.
What would you do differently?:

TRAIN HARDER ON BIKE...

Comments:

This transition went much smoother than T1... Because of wearing running shoes using platforms on bike pedals...

Nice pace but not prepared for that many hills in the mid section of the run...

Try and view more of the run segment before raceday...
Post race
Warm down:

walking and stretching

What limited your ability to perform faster:

1. Weather conditions
2. Felt like strep throat coming back again
3. Not enough bike training

Event comments:

The course based on my ability was to hard on this ocassion because of my previous month that I have been battling strep.

Hey man! Good race.

The weather did suck, but that doesn't hurt me, I go too slow. I think you did great.

Keep working hard and I hope that strep stays at bay.
