Comments:

First leg to the turning bouy was very crowded (to be expected). I played it cool and let several aggressive people just have that particular piece of water they seemed to want.
What would you do differently?:

I swam wide around the turning bouy the first lap. I should have done the same in the second lap. People just stopped at the bouy and paddled.
Transition 1
  • 07m 40s
Comments:

Longer than expected, but probably worth it. Didn't go in to the crowded tent. Had a great stripper!
What would you do differently?:

A little urgency.

Comments:

I rode my PowerTap 404 rear wheel, so I used power to limit my peaks. Worked well. I was letting some guys go early, but got many of them later.
What would you do differently?:

Not go over my targets as much early, saving more for the second loop.
