The half participants were doing 2 larger laps and were all over the place for the start of our race but it worked out surprisingly well. I only saw one other person from my wave that was up with me and he was too far in front to try to catch his feet so I just got in a good pace and booked it. No issues and had a real good swim.

Nothing

One foot out perfectly, other foot got stuck and took a few extra seconds, overall good

Strong tailwind on the way out and didn't really realize this until the turn around, probably should have pushed it more but overall pretty good.

My place was trashed when I got back, stuff was all over the place, I had to move a bunch of things so I could rack my bike, my shoes were kicked over and not in the right place and it looked like someone had stepped on them so it took me a while to fix the back heel part.

Nothing, wasn't really upset, it happens in races and I'm sure I have done it too.

Came out of transition at 42:00 and figured I would be trying to go around 1:02:00 with a real good run, but...I hit the turn around and realized if I ran a great second half I could break an hour. I also got to see the second place guy in my age group about 2 minutes behind me and running fast. I tried to pick up the pace and made it to the finish line well under and hour and really happy with my overall race.

Sat, walked, sat some more, got some lemonade and some great post-race food.
