Got there late - we thought the race started at 7, it was 6:30. While we were setting up transition the horn went off for the pros start, ugh. still got everything done, just not the extra time that you really want.

Comments:

Desoto T1 bibjohns bottoms only is perfect for me - floats my dead-weight legs and leaves my shoulders free - i like not wearing the vest top - it makes me feel like it is hard to breath. swam ok, didn't push it too much but swam pretty consistantly the whole way, never really pushing too hard
What would you do differently?:

try to draft more, get into longer sets of good rythm

Goal was to ride by heartrate and throttle back the effort to try and have something left for the run - made me crazy to let so many people go by...

walked all the aid stations, drank and poured ice water over head at all stops - stayed within HR during first half - felt like i had a good run for me - ran all the way, finished strong but with nothing left in the tank

Great Job. We got there late also, crazy slow line in the morning. Really good run on a tough course.
