Sent and estimated time of 4 minutes, planned to go out easy. Passed a couple of swimmers and really never got in a good rhythm.

First TRI, didn't want to lifegaurds to come in after me, didn't want to wreck the bike or get carried off the run course. Accomplished all three. Looking forward to Snake Bite Tri on 8/23
