Took first hit in the jaw with a heel but remained calm and had a realy good swim for me.
What would you do differently?:

probably should start a little closer to the front of the wave. Wasted some time sorting through the first hundred meters.

Felt good right away, hip issues on bike did not carryover. Was given a Heed by accident instead of water at mile 2, didn't sit well. Fought off some mild cramping around mile 3.

Drink a little more on the bike and bring a gel for the run.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

More practice riding on flatter terrain for more top end speed.
