Comments:

Clear water, we started right in front of a sandbar waist deep. I saw the elites run, then do dolphin almost to the first buoy so I decided to do the same: super fast results! The water was really choppy but because it was clear it didn't seem daunting. I enjoyed this swim, but I got out of the water and noticed there was a woman in my age group ahead of me...grrr.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe next time I would swim out a little more so that waves didn't knock me inside the buoy line, but then again, I was all by myself and nobody kicked me, so I liked that.

This included a long run along a sandy beach and up a hill. I did fine with everything here.

Comments:

I do feel I didn't work it as hard as the Jekyll tri, but maybe that's why my run was so much stronger this time.
What would you do differently?:

try to push it a little more or not? will have to experiment with that.

My BEST ever tri run! I couldn't believe the time because I did the first mile in 10 mins. Yeah.
Post race
Warm down:

stretch a little, drank a lot, ate a LOT

What limited your ability to perform faster:

nada, this was much faster than I've ever gone.

Event comments:

LOVED this race!!! And not just because I had a great race. I love ROTARY; rotarians are so generous, they know how to get out and volunteer, plus they are so kind hearted. This is a great race for a great cause! I knew going in the competition would be tough so I wasn't worried about placing mid pack: these FL women are fast. The one who won my AG could have placed 4th overall in men's division. I mean FAST
