transitions included in time- all gear was wet-pouring-but went ok though it took too long to do shoes & shorts due to wet & sand..also, minimal access from beach to get to t area

Comments:

hilly. airport section NOT fun- rutted, with lots of mud & pddles in the grass, could probably have gone at faster pace but ws running with guy who was struggling a bit -kept each other company
What would you do differently?:

push harder- pick a traget runner to overtake
Post race
Warm down:

minimal walk around

What limited your ability to perform faster:

WEATHER and not knowing if the increase in distance over sprint would be a big factor

Event comments:

concerns for safety on the bike & run portions. distance is a little odd- more than a sprint,less than an oly.....tough coure in that really very little flat. small field (max 325) is a plus. would have liked to know transition times

Congrats on finishing the race!  And that's a good run time too, I'd be happy with that for my run.  It's always rough in rainy weather, but it shows you have determination...way to go!
