Comments:

I thought I was ready for this part, however, I have not taken into account swimming and then getting on the bike. It took me at least six miles until I started to feel comfortable. I can tell that my training has been geared towards distance and not speed. In addition, the hills were right out of T1.

What would you do differently?:

Need more swim/bike together.

Age Group:	0/5
Overall:	0/63
Performance:	Average
Suit:	no
Course:	swim was in lake that normally doesn't get swimmers. There was no beach but bleechers(sp) that ascend into the water. Weird. It was also a time trial which was neat. I think I did ok, it was my first open water swim in a real long time. I can say that I've gotten better for sure. But I still think I wasted allot of time trying to swim in a straight line.
