Felt very sluggish at the start. Took quite a while to get into a good rhythm. Was a little crowded at various points. Ended up with a good time, though, which surprised me.
What would you do differently?:

Warm up swim.

Decent transition. Included a 100yd run. Bike started with an uphill, but no problem getting on the pedals and going.
What would you do differently?:

Start working on some time savers.

Good ride. Fast course. Didn't push myself too hard, and kept up a good cadence. Was surprised to come in as fast as I did, but felt very controlled.
What would you do differently?:

Push the pace a little. Target an average speed.

Felt good, and a good time for me. Was so happy to feel strong and comfortable on the run. Plan was to walk only at aid stations. I stuck to tis until the last mile and a half.
What would you do differently?:

Time to work on my speed. I can improve a lot here.
