Should have been more agressive. Spent too much time trying to swim around people or reposition. Should have established my position and just go hard.

Comments:

Lost a lot of time here. Indecision on what I wanted to wear on the bike. When I put on the bike jersey the zipper wasn't working so just decided to put on my running shirt. Definitely lost a lot of time here.
What would you do differently?:

Make a descision what to where before the race and bring only whats needed to the transistion area. Need to consider buying bike shoes that do not need to be tied.

I was surprised how poorly I did. Really didn't seem like that many people passed me. I guess I just need to push harder on the bike
