T1 time included in swim time - est 400 yard run from beach area into transition area.
Foggy

Carry a pair of clear goggles for overcast days like today
start further towards the left of the pack, got caught up in the herd.

had a hard time getting feet clean enough to get into shoes - took just as long as if I had put socks on and tied my shoes.

foot wash at bike - wear socks

Stayed on big ring most of the race except for the last few hills, stayed on target and peddled 90-95%. Had the perfect dismount.

Gel flask as opposed to struggling with packets.
Still need to ride harder on training runs, spend more time on big ring

ran in racked bike, dropped helmet on gear and ran out

nothing

bottom of shin/top of foot *tight* 100 yards into run. stopped to stretch twice- finally loosened up at the 2 mile mark. Walked the majority of the 1st mile. Felt hot spot on bottom of left foot @ 3 mile mark - pushed through and finished with a strong, gazelle like sprint :)


wear socks and triple check inside of shoes for excessive wear or exposed stitching

light stretching, hobbled around for a while


Swim: Poor start, bad positioning choice.
Bike: need more time in the saddle.
Run: Nickel size double-blister on arch of left foot.



good controlled event, plenty of room to grow into a larger race. Unlimited swim, bike, run routes possible.
I'll be doing this next year, hopefully under 2 hrs.
