generally sucked!! once again I outsmarted myself, when am I ever going to learn! folks if you have a wetsuit, wear it! I didn't and look what happened.
I brought wetsuit, hung it on the bike rack and looked at the swim and decided not to use the suit, bad me. Water was warm, swim didn;t look long so I decided to tough it out.
I was comfortable with the distance, and breathing was good, just slow.

wear wetsuit, work more on swimming, building up on speed, oh well there is always next year

a bit longer transition than I would have liked. Didn't have any problems finding my bike, it was one of the few left!! Brought gu and food for the ride.

nothing

felt good on the bike, no big hills, stayed aero, dranks and ate, didn't push too hard,

nothing

good transition, all the bikes are back now!! what a concept.



nothing

got run legs back quickly, settled into a comfortable even pace. walked thru water stops, drank and poured water on head and neck. Ran along with a few great folks along the way. Held enough in reserve to pick up the pace a bit towards the end.

nothing

A bit overheated at the end hit the shade, get some fluids, short cooling swim in the pond, celebrate with felloe b/t ers and friends and hit the road.


lack of wearing wetsuit, more work on swim speed (got the distance down), just need experience and practice. Overall, I felt prepared for the distance, better than the 1st oly. Good challenge! 2nd oly better than the first, improvement.


well, marked race, good amount of volunteers and police. Good after race party. The organizers are a tri-club so I think they took all the good from their race experience and put it into a great event.
