A compressed version - trained a bunch, but for most part the race did not go as well as I had hoped.
Pre-race - did not hydrate sufficiently, got sunburnt, had to deal with the last minute car emergency (a nail in the tire). Spent too much time doing the touristy stuff.
Swim - could not find my rhythm, so it was a very mediocre showing - 40 mins
Bike - climbed well, but the dumb choice of gearing, some technical issues and perhaps some tactical mistakes made it much worse than what it could have been - 3:02
Run - no issues besides the sore right eye, cruised through, had lots of fun once relaxed - 1:40
Loved the venue, would love to go back, might have to hunt for the worlds spot next year, or wait til 2022. Not sure if I want to try an early season full there in 2020.
The full writeup can be found here - enjoy!
Next races on the schedule: none at the moment
