Pre-race routine:

Up at 515. Clif bar and water for breakfast. Loaded bikes onto my car rack and headed the whole 3 miles to the race start
Event warmup:

None really
Swim
  • 23m 38s
  • 1640 yards
  • 01m 26s / 100 yards
Comments:

swim was S to N (usually the other way around). Little to no current help. I breathed on my right side the entire time (can bilateral but more comfortable breathing right) and took in a bit of water on the swim. Got kicked in the face by a woman breast stroking around the first turn buoy. Sighting must have been a pain for most people as I saw a lot off line and couldn't find anyone to draft off.
What would you do differently?:

breathe on my left

Comments:

Everything went good in T1 with the exception of the bonehead who sat down infront of my bike to put his cycling shoes on. I attempted to go around him picking my bike up over my head to do so. A shoe feel off the clip thankfully I noticed before leaving T1 but still had to turn around to go find it

Improved my bike spits again. Little more breeze than last race. The bridge right at the turnaround was a little tough in the headwind. Avg 17-18 over the bridge. Started cramping the last couple miles. I think it was the salt water I drank from the swim
What would you do differently?:

Not try to drink the ocean

Not bad. A clutter entering T2. Forgot to take my pre run gel

Stomach cramping

Great race. I also had a tough time on the swim course. All yellow caps made it hard to spot a yellow buoy. Probably added 1-200 yards to my swim on the way out to first buoy.

I looked at the swim buoys and start thinking, "Man! How am I ever going to swim that? That looks like a very long distance from the bridge. I have never done it in one go." There's no turning back.
