Non-wetsuit swim. Swim is improving but not fast - my first non-wetsuit 1,500m swim. kept the pace moderate and concentrated on form. Need to pick this up as gave up 4+ minutes to most in my AG which cost positions/podium

long transition area to bike out

new bike course and much smoother and better protected. Liked the new bike route - much shorter than advertised due to a road closure - more like 19 miles

Comments:

GPS watch did not work so run was entirely on feel, thought my pace was fair, ended up placing 1st in AG in run, a lot of folks impacted by heat and humidity and they ended up walking some. Not a bad run but a minute off last year, would have pushed harder if I new the pace
What would you do differently?:

get the watch to work
Post race
Warm down:

went into the misting tent which was much needed - maybe the hottest race day I've had.

Event comments:

This is an excellent race and the new bike course helped. They get tons of volunteers, mostly closed bike course and great competition. Really well run race. Would have liked AG results quicker than an hour or more post finish so we were not waiting around to see who won awards.

As the fog cleared, the buoy that I first saw earlier in the morning was just the first marker in a very long line of buoys that stretched across the lake like a runway for a 747 jetliner.

Having three seasons under my belt I thought I knew what I was doing. That all changed with a few new challenges and a bunch of new friends.
