 Swim
Comments: Felt good overall Had one rest to remove weeds from goggles Cut down swim time by over 2 minutes form last year What would you do differently?: try to find some feet to draft  Transition 1
Comments: T1 + run up was~ 3.30 Had no issue getting vertical again What would you do differently?: Practice better organization at T1  Bike
Comments: What a ride I beat my time from last year by ~ 90 seconds from last year with road bike Wind were strong on way out and varied on way back passed everyone - no one passed me Off the bike in 4th in age group 18th overall What would you do differently?: keep up working on sustaining pace / cadence throughout all rides in training Transition 2

Located a friend from the gym to give him my wedding band - I always forget to take it off for OWS - luckily he was still there when I came out of the water - was just like a bottle exchange - made teh signal and 'voila' back on my finger
