Got crowded as usual and I seem to yield more than I used to. First turn was rough. Got pushed down under and missed a few breaths.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing much... work on short distance sprints. I have been going for longer distances.

T1 was part of swim time. I had not done a off-road Tri before so I had regular lace up shoes I was planning on using for both the bike and run. I am not good enough to use clips

Have bike shoes for my MTB.

Awesome experience. This is a race that everyone should try.

The only thing that dampened my day was that my Speedo Vanquisher 2.0s disappeared. Those were new and my favorites. Criminals.
