I hate this swim
What would you do differently?:

Comments:

i love running in the rain so I was happy and felling great for 3 miles. I got a baaaaad side stitch the last .10 and almost couldn't breathe. I grabbed cytomax instead of water at the last station and drank it before I realized so I'm thinking that's what did it.
What would you do differently?:

I wasn't familiar with my watch features and couldn't accuratley check my splits or I would hve maybe pushed a little harder the second mile but overall I felt great.
Post race
Warm down:

sat around in the rain freezing my ass off until I could get my stuff

What limited your ability to perform faster:

bad swim

Event comments:

too many people for my taste. It's a great first race but waiting an hour to get in the water is nuts.
