I probably swam about 1800-1900 yards total. Everytime i looked up to sight i was way off line. The swim time also includes 200m or more run from the water to the transition. I also swam by myself the whole race. There was a group way in front of me and way behind.
What would you do differently?:

Work on swimming straighter. I know i can swim 1:45min/100yards easy!!

Comments:

Again i was by myself most of the ride and found myself not pushing it very hard. I could have cut off at least 3-4 minutes if i would have had someone to try and catch and not just ride easy. Ohh and my cadence monitor wasn't working because the magnet was turned on the back tire. So i had no idea how fast i was going.
What would you do differently?:

Constantly remind my self to push harder.
Transition 2

Comments:

This took way to long!! There we ants in my shoes and on my bandaids i was going to put on, so i had to deal with them.

Comments:

I felt much better on this run than i did on my last olympic. It could have been much faster, but there was one hill that killed me and i had to walk up most of it.
