Did not get beat around very much when the third wave caught up to me I did some but not too bad. I did keep veering to my left. Which is weird as right is my dominant side.
Sighting was not too bad either.
I loved the astro turf on the beach when coming out of the water. It helped keep most of the sand off the feet.


Practice a little bit in the pool with the wetsuit.
Learn not to fight the wetsuit.

By far this is the longest T1 I have ever had. But I feel it was worth it.
There were wetsuit strippers off the beach, but by the time I reached them I had the wetsuit down to my waist and went on to T area.
It is a little bit of a jog to the T area so that is some of the extra time.

Need some T1 practice. It has always been on my training plan...However...

The first 3-5 miles my quads were really stiff(The hills didn't help). About mile 5 they opened up and I was able to open it up some. Alot of good aero time until Hemming Road.
I did part of this course last year at Disco and will do it again some day.

Ride the back side of the course before hand.

Racked bike quickly, bike shoes off and running shoes and hat on. This one went pretty quickly as all of mine the season have.

Nothing I can think og.

The first 1.5mi was rough on the legs. At mile 2 I picked up a very comfortable pace and interval. I did .5mi running then a :45 or 1:00 walk.
Mile 3-4 was sort of boring. Once we got back into the park I was feel VERY good so I increased the pace some. Mile 5-6 was the best of the bunch; My legs felt great and I was the only on the trail at that time. I only slowed down for the last aid station and continued running from 5.5 to 6.2.

Try to get into a comfortable pace sooner.

Got some pepperoni pizza.


My legs seemed to still be a little sore from the metric century last weekend.
