Definitely was not what I was looking for to end my season on a good note.
Had a bit of trouble in various spots during the whole race. First off, I must say the triathlon swim isn't a wrestling match. It looks like we're all beating the snot out of each other, but that's typically not the case.
A message for the Fellas not in the front pack: the reason why the front pack puts so much time on you isn't because they're that much ridiculously better than you. It's because they know that all the extra bumping and hitting slows you down. Therefore, they don't do it.
...yes, for the first time this year, I was caught up in the scrum and couldn't break free until it was too late...I have the cuts to prove it.
The bike was a disappointment. Didn't feel that strong, but still closed the gap to the leaders. For some reason the group didn't want to work well together.
Once onto the run, I thought I was having a good day until I slipped from 2nd to 12th. I have some ideas of what went wrong. Injuries from the summer and not much of a base thinned out my edge from Nationals and Lorient World Cup in late September.
It's hard to ride the wave all the way in when it's not that big and the water is too deep to begin with.
On a good note, a bad last race of the season amps me up for next year's racing. I had a good year, but the only thing I'll be thinking about is the last race I did.
...Just adds more fuel to the fire

dude, that swim was hella violent... probably the roughest this year for me, at least in terms of human-induced violence. The mother-nature-induced violence at Mazatlan may have been worse.
Ah nice touch with the Jack video brosif. See I told you it was the injury but hats off to the wave riding analogy. Dude we're gonna ride some waves like that one day, you'll see...
