Solid first race... You should check out Whistler for next year. It is a tough course, but with a swim/run like that you could easily put some hurt down on most of your AG.

I thought you picked races that played to your strengths. Right now he needs a non-WS swim with a hilly run course and flatish bike. I'm not sure which one that would be.

You could definitely stand to get lower in front.
Do a bike focus for a while - ride lots, ride hard, ride hills.
There's a good :30-:40 minutes there for the taking.
Put the swim and run on maintenance mode, just enough to keep your current fitness in them.
float , hammer , and jog

Definitely going to focus on making big improvements on the bike. Perhaps ill get another fit to get more aggressive in the front. I know I can clean up the front end too. Right now I just zip tie the extra cable, lol.
