Comments:

The swim is my worst section and needs the most improvement.
What would you do differently?:

Get more open water time in before the race. This spring has been cold and wet limiting the amount of outdoor training.
I am signing up for private swimming lessons and will be doing 2 open water swims a week.
Transition 1

What would you do differently?:

Work on stripping. That is a major factor in my transition time and learn the jump onto my bike.

Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

I was sick coming off an ear and throat infection. I definitely hadn't recovered before racing.
I had to go to the bathroom on the run and wasted a good 3-4 minutes in the bathroom.

Event comments:

It is getting to crowded. Making the bike course clustered and cumbersome. It is hard to get up to speed for the first 3 km's because of the density of people.
