Comments:

have improved on swimming from last year but still slower than i'd like
started out slow to relax, but maybe relaxed a bit too much left my sprint too late
What would you do differently?:

increase pace earlier
not draft someone who isn't swimming straight!

my helmut is new and it took a little extra time clipping it up
must practice that a little more for next time
happy with the speed of transition

nothing, just keep running

Warm down:

massage , and stretching

What limited your ability to perform faster:

my groin injury

Event comments:

volunteers could be a bit more enthusiastic! I didn't get one cheer on the course!
overall, took 5 mins off my time from last triathlon of same distance and roughly same conditions but my rank has gone down due to way more people entering now.
happy that i've improved.
