first 5 miles before the turn= 21.3 av--then significant headwind really slowed me down
What would you do differently?:

My 53T chainring is killing my times when there is any wind. Get a 50/39 crank

Event comments:

started late because of long unnecessary meeting; bike course volunteers were not always paying attention, lame post race food (grapes, oranges, banana, cookies--that's it.), but great door prizes.

While I like the swim and bike course, the run course is terrible which is why I probably won't do this race again. Maybe try the Big Lake one?
