The swim was crazy, I was all over the place and wasted both a lot of time and energy back tracking. For the first time I was not having an problems swimming because of endurance, it was all directional.

Need to find a way to swim straight or do a better job sighting.

T1 was smooth, it was a long run from the beach and by the time I got to the bike I pretty much had my barrings and had caught my breath. Wetsuit came off fairly easily. For the first time in a while my shoes went on without any major problems.

Nothing

Not sure what I could have done differently, bike was ok although my pace seemed to slow on the second 12 miles. Felt like I was on the course by myself since I was so behind from the lousy swim I had.

T2 also went well although my legs were still shaking from the bike. Did not have any problems dismounting of the bike.

Nothing. They did not get the splits for T2, the time was added to run.

Thought this was going to be a good run when I started. Legs felt pretty good and I was at 8min + for the first mile. I think every mile after that got slower and I felt like I was never going to reach the turnaround. Once I got to the turnaround I was at about a 10min pace and getting very tired. Tried to turn it up a notch the last couple of miles and actually passed some people. Around the 5 mile mark I was in pain and my back was killing me, which has never happened before.

Need more brick workouts, every race my run is not what it should be and I think that is the reason.

none whatsoever, wife and kids were ready to go.


Need more bricks and open water swim work.


Again, I think there needs to be more there for the spectators during the race and something after so that people want to hang around.
