Pre-race routine:

Got to race site by 7am. Race kit pick up, body marked, chip pick up. Set up T zone. Ate a bagel with PB and drank 1/2 cup of coffee. Hydrated (maybe too much)

Event warmup:

Ran about 4 minutes. Couldn't bike anywhere as there was a half ironman starting before us, and a lot of areas were restricted. Stretching

750 meters
02m 14s / 100 meters

Comments:

Gross water!!! Weeds ++. I don't know the strategy for swimming in crowds, but I couldn't go faster b/c I was stuck in a group.

After rounding the 2nd buoy, another swimmer was really close to it, and I didn't see her. I kind of knocked her under the buoy a bit. Ooooops. No big deal, but I felt bad...I apologized

After this, we swam into the blinding sun, and no one could see a thing. We all followed each other and hoped for the best.

What would you do differently?:

Learn strategies to deal with crowds of swimmers.

Then...I can't see my bike...this IS the right rack, I know it....IT WAS KNOCKED OVER!!! arrggh

What would you do differently?:

Don't think any of this was under my control!
