Got to T1 at 6:30 expecting it to close at 7. It never really closed. Found my space and went to grab some breakfast. My wave went off at 8:50 so I had some time.
Event warmup:

Same about 150 out and 150 back. Was a good thing, practicing on the surf and realizing my bibjohn needed to be tightened.

Not too bad, maybe could have gone 30-45 sec faster. Put shirt on at T1 which took all of 3 seconds.

Event comments:

Great job. Only thing that needs work is the waiting for your gear from T1 issue. It took about 90 min to get my gear. If I do this race again I would try to pass off my T1 bag to Milagros at the bike start so no need to wait.

Course: Beach run about 30 yds then run in water. Made it through the surf easily. Did a small bit of zig zagging, other than that I felt I did a decent jo on the swim and I ran up the beach which enabled me to pass about 5 people. Heading out surf was a little high but timed just ride and only had to duck dive maybe twice.
