The swim was horrible, barely even did freestyle stroke, most of the time it was side stroke or back...mostly just floating and drowning.
What would you do differently?:

Actually get in swimming shape and be able to swim.

Dry my feet off really well.

Comments:

The bike segment was by far my favorite, it was awsome being out of the water finaly, cought a lot of people and made good times, started to notice a little cramping about to start. My feet were still wet and didnt really make it comfortable.

What would you do differently?:

Dry my feet off. And ride faster.

I took off my socks because they were still too wet. It was hard to put my feet into my shoes. Happy i had a hat.

Have spare socks just in case.
