Passed 10-15 people and never got passed. My seeding time was perfect (1:30 for 100m) but everybody around me seemed to not have seeded themselves properly.

Zip my top all the way up, ended up swimming with a parachute once water made its way in and unzipped my top.

Zipped the suit top while running then removed cap and goggles while running. Put on my helmet and sunglasses, grabbed my bike and ran to the exit. Did a flying mount for the first time in a race and it went alright, not great, but definitely cut off some time for my transition.

Pretty perfect transition, for me.

Probably could have pushed a bit harder into some of the headwinds and taken the corners/roundabouts a bit faster. Overall I'm pretty happy with my performance though.

Speed through the corners, maintain a higher cadence, sometimes I forget to keep up the cadence.

Another good transition for me, though I got about 2 steps away from my transition area and realized I didn't have my race number, so I had to go back and get that, probably 10-15 seconds lost.

Remember my race number.

Excellent run for me. PR'd my standalone 5k by about 3 minutes (though the course might have been a bit short). Tried to speed it up every mile.

Overall excellent run for me, not much to complain about.

Walked around while waiting for my brother to finish, had a banana and some water.


Wind on the bike course really killed me and a lot of others.


I love this course and race overall, will be back next year for number 4!!
