Comments:

Had a hard time with the first 200m. Couldn't catch my breath. Should have warmed up in the water. Second 200m was more smooth. Swam an additional 50-75 yards because I got way off line between bouys.
What would you do differently?:

Warm up in the water for about 150meters. Sight more often - maybe every 10-15 strokes.

Best ride I've had. Rode on a new bike - QR Caliente and it was HOT! Very happy with my ride, but need to build more strength and endurance so I could keep this up for longer than 10 miles.

Very slow getting my socks and running shoes on. I should have skipped the socks.

Don't bother putting on socks.

Great little race on the beautiful beaches of NW Florida. Race was very well organized and had plenty of volunteers. Not much going on after the race though.

Just saw your RR.  Nice job.  This was a nice race and my wife and kids love Destin so we may make this an annual event.
