Comments:

Chop was high, was difficult to get a rhythm in the first 100 m as you're fighting against the tides coming in. Once I got past the first buoy and started swimming parallel to the shore, got into a good tempo.
What would you do differently?:

Learn to dolphin dive

Comments:

Had the overall best time in T1, mainly due to the short distance between my rack to the bike mount area.

Expected winds as it was along the shore. Had to fight a lot of crosswinds, etc. Garmin reset itself along the course, so no lap data.

Had trouble dismounting trying to get my leg over the seat.
What would you do differently?:

Get my feet out of the shoes a little earlier.

Didn't have anyone around me to pace. Two guys passed me on the run but they were too fast and weren't in my AG anyway.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched a little

Event comments:

Overall, not a bad race held by TriRock. Great venue, and it was amazing to see a restored Boardwalk after the storm. Unfortunately there weren't enough volunteers to direct athletes along the route. Qualified for AG Nationals!
