caught up to a group and was caught from behind at the same time, made for some difficulty at that point in the race, as we were making the turn. I had to swim breast stroke for almost 25m to allow things to clear up and make my move.

Done more speed work leading up to the event.

First transition, still not accustomed to the bike and clipping in

Experience

more training, increase speed

The transition area was pretty cramped, and I arrived same time as another guy and had to wait and move some stuff around.

might be a bit more aggressive, but I'm not going to win the race, so I'm also not going to push anybody out of my way.

Felt like it was a pretty good run at a good pace, probably the best part of my race. I remember passing more people than passed me, so I consider it an accomplishment, especially when you pass those with lower numbers, because you know you're beating them.

not much, just put in more speed training

waited for Nate, had some Vit Water, then went to a nearby starbucks for some coffee and pumpkin bread.


lack of experience overall and not a great performance on the bike.
