Good swim, sighted on the middle buoy and then when I got there noticed that the final turn buoy seemed to be further to the left. Had to cut diagonal towards it.

Sight on the turn buoys and forget the middle buoy.

Good bike for me, went hard the whole time. Only got passed a couple of times wich is unusual for me so I figured I was having a good bike. I think the Computrainer rides are paying off.

Nice solid race there.  I thought you have to go around all three bouy's...the middle one was in waaaay deeper than the final one. Hmmm, if I had known that it would have saved a bunch of time. Lesson learned. Nice bike split!
