Took me 2-3 minutes to get into "normal pace" after T1, 2-3 times I had to shift to lower gears and avg. 18 mph vs. 22+ which means it’s not all flat!
The "Shoulders" are too narrow and make the passing some what dangerous but overall it's a very fast course with good chances for A new PR

What would you do differently?:

Next time go all out

Walking. cold drinks water and Coke

The swim is my ultimate weakness

Event comments:

Well run race, water stops are well positioned, Volunteers are great, markers and signs on the Bike and Run course are accurate and visible.
Sprint start early in the morning 7:30 is great so you can finish before the Sun comes out. for comparison the Olympic race goes well into the hot zone.
Excellent race for 1st timers
