Comments:

first time competing on tri bike with aero bars, another woman pass me on aero and a mimicked her and went aero more often. Eventually passed her. Also leapfrogged where I passed one woman on hills, she passed me on flats. Disappointing that bike was squeaking up hills.
What would you do differently?:

Not sure if I could have pushed harder on flats, more comfortable in aero, and then still had enough juice for the run
