Comments:

The water was super cold and the ony thing I could do to make it better was to swim face out of water. On the video that my family took apparently alot of others had the same thought.
What would you do differently?:

Found booties and gloves.

Transition space was tight, but overall I transitioned quicker than I thought I would. I put on underarmour shirt and light fleece. My top half was warm.

stretch and walk around a bit, drink water

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Did not eat well enough to get me through the run. I had literally nothing left.

Event comments:

I couldn't hear the announcer very well before or after the race. The finish line was pretty crowded because the post race food was right there, maybe if that were moved a little bit farther back.
As my first race I thought it was great and I will do another one. Probably not in April again but there are more in my future.
