Need more open water practie. Need more sprint tri's to get used to swimming in traffic

Rack was far from road. Official yelling to "WALK THROUGH TRANSITION". Slow getting shoes on, slow getting shirt on.

Good Strong Bike. Passed a bunch of people on the way out. Got passed by a few 40+ by the end.

On the fly decision not to wear socks.

Consider socks, got a blister d/t no socks, not enough to slow me down.

Only one water station and volunteer inexplicably dropped cup when I was 2 feet from him.

Could've gone stronger, but was unsure of self/ability. Sprinted last 50-75 meters. Could have ran last mile harder. Got passed by a rival around 3/4 -1/2 mile left. Should've gone with him, but let him go. Mentally soft at that point.

Push harder on the run.

Walk, talk, hydrate.


Good race. 1:14.20. Told wife 1:18 just on the way, so better than I expected. Fun race. Didn't panic during the swim, but never got in a ryhthm. Felt relaxed on the bike, and pushed just enough to rest the legs. Could've/Should've run faster, but inexperienced and I didn't know what was in the tank. Happy with effort. This will make it easier to keep training for Augusta.
