Got squeezed into the buoy at the start, just had to relax and then swim a little faster after I got an opening. Was breathing evry stroke for awhile and sighting a lot. It went well.
What would you do differently?:

Start upstream a little more.

Pedaled out with feet on top... forgot to loosen the velcro straps on the shoes, so that took a little bit extra. Felt great, was not passed by anyone, but passed many in front of me.
What would you do differently?:

Open shoes!

Smooth again. longer run into T2 meant a little more time there, but all went well.

Started off and felt like I was hyperventalating. took me about 1/2 milke to get calmed down and striding. TRan intervals for the last mile.
What would you do differently?:

I need to train better for running. this is my weak point.
Post race
Warm down:

Just rested. Happy with my time (PR) and AG podium!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Running

Event comments:

Organizers did a better job with the run this year. transition managment was good. They need a larger PA system for the swim start (even a referee whistle would have helped). They are waiting hours to present awards, and this year no AG awards. Frustrating to wait and then find that out.
