Drove with the family early to get there for a good parking spot. Had plenty of time. They assigned bike racks from your race number -got a great spot and set up. Drank 1/2 a Huel before leaving the house. Drank a few more swigs before the event. Made sure to use the potty ahead of time.

Rode my bike up the main road and set the gears. Changed to running shoes and did some light jogging. Otherwise, stood around and waiting in the waves to start.

I swam off course rounding the 1st bouy. Need to do better at sighting. Also went out so hard on the run that my heart rate was too high. Had to slow my swim to catch my breath. Be more steady and not so all over the place on effort level.

I think I missed my clip the first time - took a sec to get going

Overall really pleased with my bike. I was too slow at the turnarounds and got caught up behind slower bikers.

try to go harder at the end. I didn't realize how well I had actually done and didn't really race all the way thru the finish shoot.

Love this event. Great for lades of all abilities. Lots of beginners. Great course, support and overall fantastic event. Looking forward to 2019
