Good swim - probably my best in a race yet.
What would you do differently?:

confused a swim marshal in a kayak wearing yellow with a yellow buoy - this took me slightly off course

Comments:

Long (500 ft) run from water exit to transition. Plenty of time to get the suit down around my waist.
What would you do differently?:

Started to put socks on and forgot to finish taking wetsuit off! This happens when I haven't used a suit since the spring.

Nothing

No mile markers, so I had no idea what my pace was. I pushed it pretty hard, but based on my HR, I may have had some left in the tank.
