Race Report:



.25mi Swim (6:01): Almost canceled due to rough conditions, but glad they held it anyway. Breakers were breaking at the turn buoys when wave 1 went off, so a long run into the surf was possible + long body surf back onto beach.

T1 (2:29): Uneventful. Time includes fairly long run from beach into transition.

15.3mi Bike (45:13): Almost slit out on the way out of the park due to sand on one of the curves...something to watch out for next year. Mostly flat course allows for plenty of time to just get in the aerobars and go to work. Got passed (handily) by Jeroen, though I didn't realize it was him until I saw those massive quads again on the run.

T2 (1:10): Minor issue with going to wrong side of bike rack, but otherwise uneventful.

5K Run (28:19): Felt pretty strong throughout, but couldn't translate that into speed. The one hill was much harder going down than it was going up...knee started to hurt on the way down.
