Tough time getting wetsuit off. Rest of T1 was good.

Weird course, losts of turns...not that great. Bounced a water bottle on first loop and stopped to pick it up. Wanted to leave it, but felt bad and worried that someone might wreck because of it.

Not bounce a water bottle

Good solid T2. Got in and out pretty quick. A little issue with my runners, the tongue on the left shoe got bunched. All in all a good tranny

Be a little smoother

Decent run, may have been able to push the pace a little more. Not a very challenging course so I should have given some more.
What would you do differently?:

Let it all hang out.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked the course and cheered on fellow racers.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training time, sick all week.

Event comments:

I think they register too many people for the race. The bike course was jammed up on my second loop and it killed my speed. A smaller field would make for a better overall event.

Matt:

Great race as always! Way to mix it up with the Elites and hold your own! Don't be put off by their bike times, they drafted the whole bike leg.  I can't wait until you are winning Overall and I can say I knew Matt when......

Thanks for cheering me on during the run leg..that helped a lot!
