Good swim, right about what I expected, I still hate pool swims as people really don't know how to pace themselves. I seeded myself pretty much perfectly, however the guys behind me decided to go flat out for the first 1000 meters so 3 guys passed me, but I ended up passing them all easily in the last 500 meters as they were struggling.

Nothing, I had a good swim, no complaints.

I knew I was going to have a slow T1, looking back at the race results I could have won my age group if I had been smarter and gone faster here, but I wasn't about to freeze my butt off and be cold all day, so I threww on tights, a thermal shirt, jacket gloves, anything available to keep warm. Oh well. I couldn't believe some people were out there in just trisuits!!! Crazy Crazy.

Plan it out better, realistically I could have gone way faster here even while layering up.

Plan was to ride hard, and ride hard I did, I felt really strong on the ride, which is good as I have no hard efforts on the bike tyhis year at all. Very happy with this time.

Nothing. I rode exactly as I had planned.

Fast T-2, my bike rack was right near the entrance and exit to transition so that was easy enough.

Nothing.

A little slower than I thought I would go(Iwas hoping to go around 45 mins) But with the cold I couldn't feel my feet for the first 5 kms which was a bit awkward!!! Looks like most peoples run times were a little slower than usual, I think everyone struggled with the numb feet thing!!!

Not much, nutrition was good, I felt good, just couldn't feel my feet!!!

Jumped in a hot shower as soon as possible!!! Luckily we were staying very close to the race course. Good times.
