Didn't have my game face on today, probably just abit tired from swimming 8400 yards this week for IM Training. My swim was good, I didn't struggle, did free the whole way, I just didn't push it today.

Sort of woke up for the bike about 1 mph slow for me on this route.
What would you do differently?:

Had a helmet cam to take a picture of the look on the YOYO's face pushing her mountain bike to the left side of the road, at the start of a up hill after a down hill (i know they said something about that stuff in the race liturature and the pre race brief!) as I yelled at her to freeze as I wizzed 2 foot from her front wheel (she was on my right) going 45 mph with the shoulder of the road 2 foot to my left. I could her others yelling at her as I topped the hill! Bet she doesn't do another TRI!

I woke up for the run. My best time for this course on the run.
Post race
Warm down:

2 ice cold fully leaded Cokes

What limited your ability to perform faster:

No tapper since this wasn't my A or B race and it fell in the middle of IM training.

Next year I am going to request first wave on all of my short, long, and OLY TRI's so I can finish the bike before the YOYO's get on the course!

Event comments:

Love this event very well run and organized little TRI, which is why it draws people from other states NE, IA, OK, AR, etc.
