Not a great swim. Arms felt really heavy. Hard to sight the second stretch due to sun reflecting on the water, went slightly off course.
What would you do differently?:

Swim more often, maybe a massage a couple days before the race.

Wasn't fast enough getting suit off. Everything else was good.

Practice wetsuit removal.

Should've hit the small chainring on the big hill on 8th. HR was too high and I tried to power it. Didn't get into shoes fast enough.
What would you do differently?:

Ride the 8th Ave hill a few times. Use small chainring. Practice getting shoes on/off.

Didn't accurately record T2. Guess on time.

Remember to hit watch at right time.

Still a mediocre runner.
What would you do differently?:

Need to train the run much harder, then I will be dangerous.
Post race
Warm down:

Sat around waiting for people.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Inability to run, a little tired going into race.

Event comments:

Had trouble with their manual scoring system, but this race is small, private, and for charity so no complaints. Lots of fun, well organized, and growing more competitive. Will return again!
