My right shoulder is still recooping so took it easy to the first bouy. Small group of around 25 peeps. Started at the back. Passed some of the guppies. Couldn't find anyone at my pace. Rounded first bouy. Sun glaring my vision now. Needed to find feet to follow. Got along side a guy at around my pace. Stayed on his left hip the rest of the way. Checked a few times to make sure he was on target... all good. So just followed him.

Nothing really.

Bike fitness is way off... avg watts somewhere below 150. And I probably cooked my legs a little too much. Need to back off for next week's Oly a bit and leave more for the run.

Got knocked over at the start when clipping in... idiot next to me did a leap on his bike and lost control and swerved into me. I fell and he kept riding... noting broken, but knee banged up, bleeding. Lost about a minute recovering, getting bike back up and getting going.

Be super careful about those idiots mounting their bikes like fricking maniacs. Get further away from the mount line more.

Take feet out of shoes as I come into T2? That's something to explore. Just afraid my shoe might get caught and I'll flip the bike. Need to test it out.

Nutrition was good I felt... no bonking, but did just loose major steam.

Start out slower... better to neg split than burn out like that.

Training and some mistakes on pacing.
