MIT, early Olympic triathlon this season

It's the beginning of March and I have already completed my first triathlon without a wetsuit - yesterday in Miami, the Miami International Triathlon. It's a beautiful place and a beautiful race course. The weather was very nice and warm on race morning. I felt really well during the swim, even though I had some difficulties: Although the water was calm I couldn't see anything, because the race had started at 7 a.m. and we just have changed the time one week ago, so it was still dark. I had to stop a few times to see where I am going. The bike and run course were totally flat, except for one spot during the bike segment, when we had to cross the bridge (it is the highest hill in all of Miami). I moved two places up on the bike, and stayed in that position during the run, so I finished 6th. Not many Pro girls showed up at the race, but it was a competitive and fast race.
