I was a little nervous about the distance but I was actually very comfortable the entire swim. Didn't tire as I thought I would, I felt pretty strong all the way.

Keep training, get faster.

For some reason i had a very difficult time unzipping the suit after the swim. I kept pulling the string and it wouldn't budge. I finally go it down and it went good after that.

i guess practice unzipping my suit

Comments:

This course was tough for me. Hilly b'otch! I liked the challenge though. It definitely made me realize I want/need to train more on hills. I started to slightly cramp on both calfs in the middle of the ride. I would start to feel the cramp coming so I'd ease off on my stroke. Got me worried for the run but miraculously it went away after a couple of minutes
What would you do differently?:

Get better at riding hills. I think the cramps are due to bad nutrition and no stretching

Comments:

Starting off I felt those cramps wanting to bother me again, i just ignored them and after 5 minutes I felt 100%. The run was great, I felt I could've pushed myself a little more for the run. Next time!
What would you do differently?:

Keep training.
