Swim was kind of crazy. They were making announcements about the buoy's but I didn't hear them. Was told one buoy got loose and we didn't have to go around. I followed the crowd.
Started at the front with aggressive swimmers. Was caught in some traffic and took a blow to the face. Had to re-adjust goggles. Ended up flailing a little at the start till I got my pace and rhythm and extended my stroke. Then I felt great.

Listen better. Not get boxed in.

Small Transition area and close to swim finish make this a fast one.

Not much.

Without the hills, this was a very different race. I pushed it a bit on the bike. Not consistent with my power, but worked hard to get a good speed, even with the wind.
Legs felt a little fatigued, maybe due to yesterdays ride. Overall, very happy.

Train More.

Easy transition. Didn't rush it, but also didn't take visor, bandana, etc.

Run a little faster? Practice with Socks?

Great run, close to a PR for me. Went out comfortable hard. Used a run walk system, and I think it payed off.
Threw water over my head, had some electrolytes. Worked hard to keep going.

Run More

Cheer in my friends! Have a croissant.


Some fatigue.


Great race. Like the idea of a championship! Would do it again, but wish it had been the longer version.
