Swim
Comments: My first experience with a wave start. Started in the back of the pack, but on the nearside of the first turn (a left hand turn). Again, not the best idea. I thought I was a poor swimmer, but I was swimming over people. Sighting was difficult with all the people, had to stop and breast stoke several times to regain composure. What would you do differently?: Start on the outside, middle of the pack. Transition 1
Comments: Still short of breath from the swim. Needed to take deeper breaths to get everything under control. Bike
Comments: Large hill on the back of the course. Did a poor job of maintaining the hill. Transition 2
Comments: Not bad. Run
Comments: Felt like I was going to die. Went all out on the bike and didn't save much for the run. Post race

First race, was pretty nervous. Woke up about 5 to eat and started hydrating.
Got to transition about 6:45 to set up. Ran on the run course and did some active stretching. Went back to transition as it started to rain. Made my way down to the beach for a warmup swim. Rain stopped. Downed a Red Bull during the pre-race briefing. In hindsight this was not a great idea.
