Comments:

I think I pushed too hard, felt like I was out of breath for most of swim, had to breast stroke multiple times, rounded bouy with breast stroke, didn't feel very good
What would you do differently?:

better fitness, take it easier in beginning

Arms stuck in wetsuit, was very fatigued, probably dried off too much, somewhat cold.
What would you do differently?:

practice, maybe get suit glide spray to make easier.

could have maybe pushed harder, very slow in the beginning, picked up speed later, spent some time in aero. Fell off right after mount line when I had to stop to adjust brakes.
What would you do differently?:

practice more on the bike. NEED to adjust brakes to not scrape on wheels.

Fumbled with racking bike, was tired, someone put their bike on top of my transition area.
What would you do differently?:

not much, practice if anything
