Fairly good swim for me without a wetsuit. I was able to draft well at the start but then the fast guys pulled away and i was stick in between the front pack and the trailers for the entire second half of the swim.

I sighted fairly well but felt I swayed a bit off course around the 1000 meter mark.Not many buoys out there.

My goal for teh swim was 32:00 so I was close to that. It's improving slowly, but I still have a lot of work to do on my swim.

not a whole lot

Had a problem in that I ran with the bike in my left hand and needed to switch so I could mount with my right foot forward.

I also had a real difficult time getting my feet in my shoes.

run on the right side of the bike.

Good bike for me. I think it was a PR on the bike split for an OD. I lost one stinger from top tube in transition. Good thing I had two on there just in case. I felt my inner quads tighten up and cramp a bit when I started the bike leg from the extra effort on the swim without the wetsuit. I took a salt tab immediately.

The ride was good after that. I did not see too much drafting and I had sufficient room to pass others. I drank my full bottle and took another salt pill later in the ride.

none - good transition. Found my spot quickly. Put on sicks because of current blister situation and took off.

nothing

ran hard - really screwed up by misreading the signs into lap 2/finish. ran hard - it hurt. was fairly impressed I could keep up the pace and finish strong.

read the signs better

none. water and found Robin and Jake, grabbed a few snacks here and there.


not starting my off-season before the race.
