I really enjoyed the swim. I felt strong and focused on technique. I would have liked to have been a wee faster but really a couple of minutes did not make a difference.

A lot of people still had wetsuits on.

Have got more sleep the nite before. I am also a little bit sick with chest cough.

A little earlier at the race too as I was late racking. But I had spectators this time so that is good!

bike did fall in transition

I dunno

What an experience. I am proud of myself for hopping back on the bike though.

More bike training. Better prep with gears and shifters and all of the above. There is a part of me that thinks my bike is a little off since I bought it, but nonetheless, rider competence would make a difference

Lol, I was so rattled that official racked my bike for me, I could not find my stuff with those transition mats... think I should still leave a bright towel on them. I was worried about being DQ and asked official re same

towel on transition mat

At times I thought I was going at a faster pace and I likely was. I walked up the hills (they were little though) just to conserve energy to get it done. I was pretty hot.

Lots and lots of fan support.
