Of course that first mile is always a doozy trying to get your breathing in check. I really enjoy this run course even though it is an out and back. For some reason it always seems to go by faster.....and that's not because I run fast.
What would you do differently?:

Should have taken a gel while on the bike.

Course: There was a red flag and the swim was cancelled. Shucks, darn, dangit!!!!! The swim is my worst even so I wasn't sad to see them cancel it. So, option two was to run a mile. Team Magic starts on a 3 sec. interval and they held to that starting the run. I'm not a sprinter by any means (9:04/mile) but I would rather run my ass off for one mile vs. swim 1,000 yards.
