Comments:

Lots of body contact on this start, didn't find my own space until rounding the 2nd bouy. Got swum over lots.

What would you do differently?:

Start further out to the side.. not sure if I should have seeded myself further up or further back.

Transition 1

Comments:

Was in transition a LONG TIME. Will need to work on this. Suit came off okay, but then did eye drops, was getting sunny, so did sunscreen. Put on a shirt I didn't need. Wasn't really concerned about going quickly, but I did check my watch and 4 min is a little much! Took too long getting on bike also... line up at mount line

What would you do differently?:

Sunscreen at home before race regardless of conditions. Skip eyedrops unless contacts feel very dry.

Still slow on the bike. Passed a lot of people, but was still behind.

What would you do differently?:

Go harder into the wind

Comments:

Was slow here too, but really wasn't concerned with it.

Good run, felt reasonably strong, but tired at the end. Again, passed quite a few people. Took walk breaks at aid stations.

Post race

Warm down:

stretch

Event comments:

This is an awesome race. Everything was great and ran smoothly. Will make it a yearly race. Lots of really fast people!
