Comments:

my first mass start,over all I'm really happy with the swim i think i could of done better but was conservative as i was so nervous of not being able to complete the distance even tho Ive swam further in a pool.
What would you do differently?:

make sure i was on the outside of the turns that way i would of had clearer water

Comments:

you had to remove wetsuit and put it in a bag before you went up the stairs into trans area. well i went down the wrong isle but managed to duck under the rail to get to my bike, once i got to my stuff it went well i have spd's so i can run in my bike shoes so mounting wasn't to bad
What would you do differently?:

practice, practice, practice oh and try not to get lost (tho the excel center is huge)

What limited your ability to perform faster:

a few bad choices but i will take them as a learning tool and do better next time.
