Comments:

I felt good, but time shows slower than usual. Rechecked my training log vs last year and definitely light on swims leading up to this race.

What would you do differently?:

Just before starting the wave, re-adjust timing chip. I was not able to kick as much as I wanted because it was loose during the swim.

Comments:

my bike rack was close to the entry from the swim . . . but very far to the bike mount, including an uphill run with cleats. Felt very comfortable and kept running.

food gel fell out of side pockets during 1/2 half of run. Could have used it. Did consciously push for hard breathing, vs laid back. Gave 99%.
