For my first OWS ever it went ok. I really started out fast which kind of got me out of rhythm and i was swallowing a bit of water.

Comments:

I was a bit slower than the guys who beat me in my AG and just wondering what i can speed up, i guess not fooling with socks but i need those for the run. They were really long transition areas and chutes in/out.

Comments:

I was a lot more tired going into the run than i thought i would be, but that's probably b/c i hammered the bike since it was a short course. I coulda gone faster overall and the last 1/2 mile but i wasn't sure about distances until end. I doubt it would have saved me the 40secs i needed to place in AG.

Warm down:

Water and orange... then 15mins later a chick-fil-a biscuit. mmmm + more liquids.
