Good swim. Crowded. Lots of kelp. Narrow course with a lot of bumping,kicking, hitting...
What would you do differently?:

Start out more near front. Catch heels of first three out and stay out of pack

Comments:

Cold from swim. Hands and feet numb. Hard to run / handle things
What would you do differently?:

Shake out hands to get blood moving on run to T1. More body glide on ankles to allow better wetsuit removal. Quicker strides and same pace to warm up on way to T1

Nice short run, was able to really go for it
What would you do differently?:

Hit it harder next year. No time to wait and warm up, just go

Warm down:

fluids, jog, get on warm clothes and stretch

What limited your ability to perform faster:

too much liquid while racing, very cold and tight. Need more warm up next time

Event comments:

Awesome race in an awesome location. Need more after race support, but hard within time frame. Weather a factor as it was sunny and warm one day and foggy and drizzly the next (typical Monterey weather) Will do this race again
