This was my first OW and it was very different than I expected. The start was brutal... legs and arms everywhere, but once I found my zone, I was ok.

I should have had more practice in a wet suit before the race.

Comments:

It was a great run. About half way the volunteers "splashed" me with water and it SOAKED my socks and shoes... during the rest of the run I got some blisters from it... so it slowed me down a bit
What would you do differently?:

No regrets really. I was on such a natural high during the run I could have cared less about my pace. I was just happy to be out there doing it. It was a great race.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretching and some walking to cool down

What limited your ability to perform faster:

With a jammed hand and blisters....I crossed the finish line with a smile on my face. :D I MIGHT have been able to go faster, but I am beyond happy with how well I did
