Felt good, had plenty left at the end but since the closest competitor was too far ahead to catch I didn't push it in.
What would you do differently?:

Go out harder with more relaxed breathing.
Post race
Warm down:

Light walk and stretch, stuck around for the awards because I got 2nd in 25-29 age group, then went home and went MTBing.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

my lack of ability in the swim and my lack of practice in the transition areas

Event comments:

The lake was terrible, and the race started late (due to logistical problems - limited parking made for athletes checking in late), but after it got started all was good. It was not a USAT sanctioned event, and the drafting rules were not enforced, which kindof upset me. I liked the race/course enough to highly consider doing it again next year.
