The swim was good I was really nervous about this because I really look at swimming as my weak point since I have never swam before this year really. I did well ended up passing the leader in the lane and was very close to my seed time

So biking today for me was my really weak link. I am ok on the bike but not with crazy winds coming from every angle type of stufff. For the first time I felt what a strong crss-wind felt like yeah omg thought I was going to get thrown off the road and the head wind the last 4 miles was just crazy there was no break seeing as it was nothing but corn fields every where. Yeah the bike killed my legs cause I was trying to maintain a good MPH which def did not happen lol
What would you do differently?:

dodge the wind

was a fun run course my legs took about half a mile to get into flow from the bike, was a tough run though. There were a fair amount of long tough hills and the trail running was very narrow almost impossible to pass someone at certain points.
What would you do differently?:

move a little quicker
Post race
Warm down:

crossed the finish line and laid down

What limited your ability to perform faster:

the wind by far

Nice race!

Really great times.  Transitions get faster with practice, experience and focus.  I was BOP on these for my first few tris, but made some improvement for may last tri in Chicago.
