The water was a bit warmer than I like. I am actually a little surprised it was wetsuit legal. Wasn't as much contact as I am used to, but did get run into a few times.

Warm down:

Walked around and re-hydrated, ate a little food. Watched the racers coming in and noticed how different people handle transition.

Event comments:

The organizers did a good job of keeping people as informed as possible as we waited through a 30 minute delay.
