Wild surf conditions. Ate almost as much water as oxygen.
Swam faster on the 1 mile the day before.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe I need to get near the front. I hate traffic. I usually start in the back to avoid arms and legs, but end up catching them and having to pull up and avoid the mess.

Getting clipless in the future. Need to practice this more.

The guy next to me racked his bike in my spot. I tried to slide it over and it fell off. Oh well. The new zoots are awesome. Threw them suckers on and was out the door in under a minute. Whoo hoo.

Felt Slow, but was alright. Pushed the bike some so I was pretty lethargic at the beginning.
What would you do differently?:

Increase the pace earlier than I did today.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and stretched

Event comments:

Not bad. The surf was a fight during the swim though. The traffic on the roads caused some frustrations too.
