Need to work on my swimming. I feel could shave 2 min off that swim time pretty easy.

Warmed up in the pool. I thought I still had awhile until I went but I ended up going with a bunch of people with a lower bib number than me. Flip turns would have helped me catch back up to the other people in my lane so I could have continued drafting.

Had a little trouble getting into my shoes on the uphill, but not so much that it slowed me down from putting me shoes on in transition.

Nothing, very happy with my transition.

At the bottom of the hills there were 90 degree corners, so you couldn't hold your speed through them. I felt I did a good job of going through them quickly though. Sometimes I would have to speed up before the corner so that I wouldn't get stuck behind someone while in the corner. Did good on the hills on the first and third lap, struggled a bit with them on the second lap. Drank 2/3 of a water bottle with regular gatorade. Pretty happy with it especially considering that I hadn't been on a bike in a week.

Pushed it harder on the downhills on my first lap and harder on the uphills on my second lap, but overall I am very happy with my results.

Had a little trouble getting my bike in the rack. But overall smooth. Ran while I reset my garmin and put on my race belt. It was a small transition area, but I was on the exact opposite side of the run exit and I probably would have had time to change the mode on my garmin.

Not tried to rush racking my bike, accept that it will take a second.

Really wanted to break 20min, but seeing the results I am happy with my time. I didn't drink much just took a sip of water at each of the three aid stations and the poured the rest on me.

I should have realized that I just wasn't going to be running that fast and should have accepted it. I probably would have run faster overall rather than pushing myself really hard when I could.

None


Not having biked in a week. Not doing flip turns. Getting frustrated with my running pace.
