Comments:

swim was a straight shot down intercoastal waterway in myrtle beach. water was about 70. with current so pretty quick swim. water was pitch black. yuck. straight into the sun so but since it was a straight shot it was easier just to use the shoreline to spot
What would you do differently?:

push a little harder on the swim.

tough course for me since I don't do much mountain biking. It took a lot of energy out of my legs for the run. Fun course but lots of short steep ascents. Wrecked once missing my line.

mountain biking skils

Event comments:

Very fun race. Swim was easy with current. mass in water start. 1 wave. Bike trail is very cool and interesting. I had fun but was slow on the bike since my technical mountain biking skills need work. Other athletes were friendly on course working well with me when they needed to pass. Lots of encouragement from other athletes on bike course and on run. Even though I did not place well it was an enjoyable race.
