Comments:

Felt smooth and comfortable the whole way. Ran into and had to navigate through a lot of people from about 300M on to the finish. Slowed pace down a little but stayed strong.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe take more of an outside route to stay away from slower swimmers.

Felt very strong and pushed myself. Ran a faster split than some of my 5k's in a sprint race. I just tried to race my race and play rabbit and catch the person in front of me.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, executed perfectly.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

The rain! and the mass amount of athletes.

Event comments:

Way to many athletes allowed to race. The bike course was not wide enough and passing was rough, especially if you were a later wave. Well organized though.
