very crowded swim. first half never really felt that I could get fully into my stroke.

did try to draft a bit, but it makes me nervous!

not sure, maybe move out to the side a bit

not sure what slowed me down. i thought my foot was cramping a bit when putting into shoe so that took a few seconds to deal with

no water at first station only gatorade.

started to get a bit gassy about 1/2 way and slowed down a bit

leg didn't hurt as much as i thought it did but i was worried about it
What would you do differently?:

need to work on mental toughness. again, probably could have pushed more in the middle of the run but slowed down!
Post race
Warm down:

stretching

What limited your ability to perform faster:

my hamstring that i wasn't supposed to be running on!

Event comments:

no finisher medals at the end. they gave them out before the awards but only to those who did not get an award. i like getting the medals.some volunteer confusion for the IronAbe event that cost some people some time.

post race water was hose water and not cold. water on run course was not cold either.

good food at the end and awards were on time. good race, as always, will be back next year.
