swim was no fun. tried to start inside but too many bodies could not get a good rhythm or pace. also looked & felt longer than 880
What would you do differently?:

swim on outside or take a masters class & get much faster

getting my shirt on took too long, it was too tight to get on a wet body
What would you do differently?:

almost hit a guard rail. 2nd half opened up and rode on white line thinking "circles...circles". i do think i beat everyone else on a regular road bike.

aero wheels seem to make a big difference

need to lose the socks

Comments:

surprised i did so well on the run. felt good & strong up the hill. did i not work hard enough on the bike?
What would you do differently?:

get a couple coaching sessions
Post race
Warm down:

talk to my friend, walk a little & stretch

What limited your ability to perform faster:

mostly just strength. need more muscle for a sprint also need swim coaching and better form in all.
