Swim went well. Dolphin dived for a long ways starting and finishing since it was so shallow.

Comments:

Kindof a disaster transition, didn't know where I was going out of the water, volunteer didn't correctly direct me etc...

Probably could have been 15 secs faster if I had known what was going on:-)
What would you do differently?:

Know where swim in is for transition!

I ran a bit slow on this one, I messed up timing with my Garmin and it threw me off mentally a bit. I was just running hard and it was hot. I should have easily been under 6 minute miles.

Event comments:

I really liked this race. Best post-race food ever... breakfast burritos that were huge and FILLING!!! Really well organized event and a smaller one that the entire family can have an amazing time at. Great race. Definitely will do more Optum races.
