Set up and checked transition about 10 times. Had eaten early like 4:30 am so had a little snack 1.5 hours before race. Took a gel 30 minutes before swim start.

Was very cold, no warm up. Had run around a bit but because of a swim time issue I started 76. It was very chilly standing on the pool deck in my swim trunks.

Got going pretty quick. Transition was long and I was in front as to run the least amount of distance in bike shoes. Ran straight out, turned sharp corner, and out onto run course.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

2nd tri. In my first it was 1 day after 1/2 marathon and run course wasnt marked so I got lost. No real baseline for sprint 5K pace. In hinds sight I didnt push hard enough on the run.

Event comments:

Already marked my calendar for next year!
