They put me in the woman's wave by accident, they offered me teh option to switch. There were other guys in my wave so why not start 15 minutes earlier!
What would you do differently?:

Still bad with navigation but for a non wetsuit leag swim, pretty good. I'd be 3-4 faster in a wetsuit....

The transition run was ridiculous, I was in the first row and it counted toward your time, I used my actual clock time on my wrist...

Not much, other than better transition,

Event comments:

I think CGI puts on a great event, but 5 minute intervals on the waves and late start time (7:45 actually) only hurt the participants. I moved to the Sprint because of the Heat wave and my start time was going to be 8:20, not safe at all. I'd recommend moving the start time up to 7:00 at least.
