Water temp was 84 degrees, ambient temp was 94 degrees, humidity was 47%.
So my transitions were pretty sluggish for a sprint, but my paces during each leg were about what I expected or better. Between the bike and run only one person passed me, and I passed a bunch on the bike.
That was indeed fun, glad to have a triathlon where I can sleep in my own bed and also be finished on course by 10:30AM! All through each leg I was thinking how nice it was to have the shorter distances!!
Definitely a nice race - lovely swim! - and one I'll do again!
