I hate pool swims, especially when it a self-seeding event

Seed myself higher, I should have put 5:45 or 6:00min as my time

I need a lot of practice on my transitions. I have no idea how to get into my shoes on the bike and I probably should have gone without socks. I need to practice that though.

I need to practice more hills, around here they are inevitable. I need to get my average speed up as well.

Been more aggressive on the downhill sections and corners I need to practice both of these more so I'm comfortable with the speed and bike handling.

Got hung up in traffic coming into this transition which was frustrating. My bike rack was at the bottom of the transition area which made it difficult to get in and out quickly. I did the best transition here though.

If I had had a better swim seeding I would have been more in the middle of the racks which would have helped considerably. Need more transition practice overall.

hard to transition off the bike to run in this race. my legs finally came to me in the last 1.5mi though

Practice more bike run transitions.

conditioning. this is my first race since training started in june.
