Comments:

I didn't spot at all. swam wide at the 1st bouy, headed out to middle of lake and a spotter on a surf board stopped me and pointed the way. I was 50+ yards away from the swim course. I then again missed the bouy and had to correct to the finish. I think I left 2 minutes on the course.
What would you do differently?:

Look where the hell I was going. Oh, and not touch my goggles with greasy fingers. It messed up my vision.

Picked up the pace on the second lap that was good compared to the first lap.
What would you do differently?:

Not sure. If I went harder up front I might have blown myself up on the second lap and killed my already weak run.

Had to drink more prior to the run.
What would you do differently?:

try running without socks.

run faster, DUH!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not being a good runner

If it wasn't Mothers Day I would have my family with me because the lake is beautiful and they could have really enjoyed the event. Very, Very family friendly.
