I had expected a better swim. The current was pretty strong as I discovered trying to round the 2nd turn buoy. A lot of interference from inexperienced swimmers.

Start near the front instead of the back of the pack. I would have had less problems with slower "weaving swimmers.

No flying start, I just didn't have enough practice. I did take my shoes off before my dismount and that went smooth.

More practice and confidence with a flying start.

I planned on about a 16.5 mph overall pace. I got 15.9, It turned out to be too much, I didn't have much left for the run.

Not really sure.

Not a bad transition.

I'm going to have to practice jumping off moving bike.

A lot of walking, legs just hurt.

Not sure.

No real warm down. Very tired and even light headed along with some nausea. Sat in the shade a lot until I was sure it would be safe to drive. Couldn't eat for a bout 2 hours after the race.


Probably lack of training aimed specifically for this event. I just trained for too many different events.


Need a bag check in.
I'll be back next year!
