Last 500 meters was pretty rough with cross current. Last 200 meters never seemed to end. Probably lost good 2 minutes in the last 200 meters.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. What can you do when the waves and current are knocking you around. Mother nature is mother nature.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Rough Seas, Headwind, Not enough bike and run training. But hey, what can you do when it's 10 degrees out all winter in Chicago and you're trying to train for a Triathlon in 85 degree heat

Event comments:

Thanks to all of the volunteers. Great Race
