Be more aggressive and try to pass. The swim was in a pool and not congested but crowded (if that makes sense), so everyone was just sort of in-line. Had trouble getting my breathing down. Having said all that, even though this was a very short race that I took as a training run, I was gassed at the swim.

This was a reverse tri "super sprint". So bike to run to swim. Wore gloves so had trouble getting them and my helmet off. Ending up pulling the chinstrap over my head and ripping off my sunglasses as well. Picked up and ran with my swim goggles in hand.

Had fun on the bike. Was fairly fast for me. Tried to keep up cadence even when going through switchbacks on the course.

Drink some, corner better/faster

Initial pair of goggles broke at the nose bridge, so I am really glad I ran with my other pair.

Started to cramp initially, I thought about walking and drinking some fluids, but trusted my body. And the cramping went away! Actually quickened and alongated my pace. Basically really enjoyed this short run.

Fun training race. Very well organized.
