Got squeezed into the buoy at the start, just had to relax and then swim a little faster after I got an opening. Was breathing evry stroke for awhile and sighting a lot. It went well.
What would you do differently?:

Start upstream a little more.

Pedaled out with feet on top... forgot to loosen the velcro straps on the shoes, so that took a little bit extra. Felt great, was not passed by anyone, but passed many in front of me.
What would you do differently?:

Open shoes!

Smooth again. longer run into T2 meant a little more time there, but all went well.

Started off and felt like I was hyperventalating. took me about 1/2 milke to get calmed down and striding. TRan intervals for the last mile.
What would you do differently?:

I need to train better for running. this is my weak point.
Post race
Warm down:

Just rested. Happy with my time (PR) and AG podium!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Running

Event comments:

Organizers did a better job with the run this year. transition managment was good. They need a larger PA system for the swim start (even a referee whistle would have helped). They are waiting hours to present awards, and this year no AG awards. Frustrating to wait and then find that out.

Since your “A” race is your marathon, which you stated in your question, this should be your main focus. I encourage you to taper a bit for the sprint distance triathlon.
