Surprised at my swimming ability compared to how I thought I was going to do. Felt great but need to work on swimming with people. Tried breathing on the left side and.... epic fail.
What would you do differently?:

Swim faster. Learn to breath on both sides. Tried breathing on the left side and.... epic fail.

Holy smokes.... HILLS! Well more like 2 mountains but besides that I felt great on the bike. I could be wrong about the course being extremely hilly because this was the first time I rode my bike on a hilly outside course.

Train for hills more and get up to speed faster.

Went well. No clipless pedals so just hopped of the bike and I was ready to go. Oh wait.. I could not get my freaking biking gloves off...

I think I might have been on a traithlete high or something. I don't think I have run a sub-20 5K since high school. Needless to say I was pleased with my time and felt great!
What would you do differently?:

I feel like I could have pushed myself a little harder.
Post race
Warm down:

Drink some water and cheer my friend on.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Coldness and fear of overdoing it and wearing myself out.
