Greetings Team, My apologies for the late race report. Right after the race I had all the moving stuff to deal with and relocating business so I was swamped. Just wanted to do my part to contribute to the EFRT podium count this year. Managed a 3rd place overall at:

Comments: Did not wear wet suit in order to have a faster transition. Long run from swim into transition area. Didn't put on socks for bike. Best transition to date but still room for improvement. A little winded. Shoes did not go on super smoothly, fumbled with helmet a little. What would you do differently?: take off cap and goggles while running into transition area.
