Felt like this was my best swim ever! The water was crystal clear! I swim in the group very well.

I seemed to swim to the left a lot.

Comments:

The wetsuit transition and the bike were in two different places because of limited space. I had a little trouble getting my wetsuit off.
What would you do differently?:

My wetsuit got caught around my timer and watch need to work on that.
Bike

Comments:

The bike course was good. But had a few problems. A driver went though the barricades and almost hit a guy right in front of me. Then the driver was on the course, I couldn't get around them and they were going slow because of other racers. I feel this took a couple of minutes off my time. Mount and dismount were not mark and that was causing some problems.
What would you do differently?:

Go faster!

I didn't care for the run course, but I will still do the race again! It was also very hot and humid by this time.
What would you do differently?:

Wear trail shoes!

Just took in fluids
