Lots of thrashing when we got to the bridge,as everyone had to narrow down to fit under it. Lost track of second return buoy, which cost me about extra 25-50 yds to correct

SIght the return buoys better and think about where I am supposed to be

wetsuit got stuck on right heel and cost big time.

Use Trislide on legs

First hill was OK. Big bump to get onto highway was bad and unexpected. Had to check for flats, especially on disc wheel. Climb over bridge was long and steady. Winds were a little gusty on the bridge. Was not able to sustain target power level. Hit turn around well and return trip over the bridge was tough.

Plan my effort out more evenly, to account for the bridge climbs. Maybe go with 808 tubulars instead of heavier disc wheel

T2 had a long run to get to the rack

Kept good apce on run with bike. Racked quickly and got shoes on fast. No socks.

I had no power left on the run. Don't know why. I did not over-exert on the bike and the course was flat. Just did not have a good day on the run. Felt a little cramping, but nothing major.

Run some more intervals in the weeks leading up the race. Practice hitting bricks harder.

stretching and re-hydation


Bad T1 and poor run
