Swim
Comments: The first half of the swim, until the turn around buoys, was bad. I started out in the back of the pack at the start, which caused me to get stuck behind a lot of the slower swimmers. I was constantly catching feet and could get around as their were swimmers to the left and right. Once I got to the turn around buoys I swam a little wide to get into some open water and around the slower swimmers and was finally able to start passing and swimming at my pace. What would you do differently?: I'm not sure if the organizers changed the wave start from M25-29 to M19-29, or whether it was like that all along, but it was definitely a crowded start. Really need to get myself out in front of the slower swimmers. Transition 1
What would you do differently?: Jump onto bike with shoes already clipped in. Bike
Comments: The bike was going well until mile 45 when I noticed that my rear wheel was half flat. I stopped and filled it using the CO2 cartridge. Once I removed the pump the presta valve stem broke and the tire had now completely deflated. So I spent the next 20 minutes replacing the tube. What would you do differently?: Bring a couple more CO2 cartridges and 1 more tube. Need to work on more hill training. Transition 2
