Comments:

The swim went without issue. I did have a slow start because my glasses were fogged up so I pulled them off and submerged them, then continued. This put me behind a few seconds but I didnt have to worry about getting kicked either. The last legs were pretty choppy and I felt like I was in the ocean.
What would you do differently?:

Not much could have been done different. I felt like I could have kept going, but Im so slow.

none

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of ability

Event comments:

FS series could have had a few more volunteers to help out. They did have a kayak out in the water with drinks for the swimmers, that was pretty cool. I didnt use it though. There was supposed to be food after the race but it never showed up, so we went to waffle house.
