Comments:

This is a very competitive race, meaning, not many triathletes. Most people did the swim w/o wetsuits, I did mine along with the other triathletes (most of them), in my wetsuit. This was a test for me for Ironman. It was a big confidence builder as I really had no problem in the swim, and felt like I was relaxed and had plenty of energy the whole way.

Warm down:

Walked 2 miles back to my car

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The fact that I am not a great swimmer!
