very rocky and shallow swim course. our wave felt very large and therefore the swim was pretty rough - lots of scrumming, kicking and hitting. most physical swim i've experienced in a race. i had a few racers grab onto my ankles and pull me back from time to time. pretty chaotic. i would expect that more at the start of the swim but it lasted for most of it!

not sure.

my T1 time always disappoints me! i take a little more time now that i'm connecting my insulin pump during T1. (have to unzip trisuit and clip into infusion set, kind of fumble around a bit). but small price to pay to keep my blood sugars in normal range!

not much

had to run up the same hill out of transition as at beginning of bike leg. that sucked! i actually allowed myself to walk up the hill so i wasn't starting the run with a super high HR. i'm surprised with my pace since i did walk that hill and walked through the water station. thought it would have been slower, so i'm happy with that, especially since my run training has been non-existent this year with my shin injury. :)

drank some water, hung out with friends


lack of run training, need to push more - i tend to keep things comfortable


really well run race. it helped that the weather was perfect! beautiful location. max performance always does a great job! would definitely do this race again.
