Even though the water was warm, they deciced to make it wetsuit legal. I used a wetsuit (sleeveless) b/c I am not a good swimmer. This was a good move by me b/c I didn't overheat and saved a lot of my legs for later. For at least half the swim I was drafting off a guy who wasn't wearing a wetsuit. As I was doing this, I thought how ass backwards that was. I took it easy for the most part knowing that if I try too hard I usually don't go that much faster. Got out feeling as good as I ever do after a swim.

I am always surprised how easy it feels at first to run off the bike, my legs just want to keep moving. This run wasn't easy but looking back I could have dug a little deeper. It wasn't that hot and it's a flat course so there really weren't any excuses. I thought the course felt bit short, but not sure.

Very little training this summer. Have been working outside in this heat and have no desire to train before or after work.

Nice job!

What wave were you in? I didn't have a wetsuit (DeSoto Liftfoil), and was in wave 1.  I was drafting off someone else (a taller girl in a TYR Hurricane), but there was a third person hanging around until the 2nd loop.

Thanks... I was in wave 2, looks like I was at least 5 minutes behind you in the water, too fast for me to draftSmile
