Comments:

On the way out sighting was terrible because the buoys were on the left and I am a right side breather. Waves were also coming from right side. Sighting on way back in still wasn't great but seamed smoother and faster.
What would you do differently?:

More bi-lateral breathing practice.

Comments:

Tried to maintain a good pace while keeping my breathing under control for the run and I think I did ok there because breathing was not the problem on the run.
What would you do differently?:

Push a little harder and figure out how to do intervals on bike training.

Comments:

Forced myself to take my time and stretch after putting shoes on.

Comments:

Maybe some day I will have the mental toughness to run the whole thing, well except for woodchip hill, that's just cruel. Too much walking on the way out and some during mile 5.
What would you do differently?:

Run 6.2 miles.
