We had to swim up to the race start and waited for appox. 4 minutes 'till my wave start. Didn't get to the line in time for the start of the race. I was way off course. I must have done another 300 meters of off course navigation.

Get more open water experience. Practice swim with looking up every few strokes to stay on course.

Had to take down some GU. Forgot to put on my heart rate monitor. Putting on socks and shoes took some time.

Practice having my shoes clipped on the bike, so I can run out quicker.

Didn't push to hard to save some for the run. I was just going by how my body felt instead of my speedo. Dropped my water bottle. I did pass a good amount of people. I felt great about that. I didn't get to train the bike/run combo due to few health issues.

Have my shoes clipped on my bike at the start. Get some bike/run combo training.

Almost forgot to take helmet off.

Practice trans as part of training.

Planned to do an easy 10 min/mile pace. It was a slow start but after the first mile passed a few people.

Get more runs in. I would have pushed a little more on the last half mile or mile.

Inside the finishers coral...I took in some drinks but did not eat anything. Felt great.


My foot injury kept me from getting more runs in my training.


Would be nice to have some post race live music.
