Comments:

It was my first OWS tri. I was afraid that I was going to freak out in the salt water...I don't usually even swim at the beach! The water was calm, though, and I got into a breathing rhythm and was very pleased with the time!

T1 time wasn't recorded. I think it was just under 3:00, according to my watch.
What would you do differently?:

Practice getting wet suit off. Not lose track of which rack my bike is on!
