First OWS. There was a lot more bum ping than I had planned on, got kicked 3x but it was ok. did not expect the swim to be so hard, OWS is much harder than the pool! Did the side stroke a lot!

Transition was up hill from the lake. Was not expecting the drunkin legs feeling, just walked to T1. I remembered the important stuff, but forgot the Cliff Block. No big deal did not need food anyway. The racks were really close to the transition exit. Pretty good for my 1st T1. I came in 9th for T1!!
