Pre-race routine:

Helped Laura with her first - way to go!!
A little more hectic than I woud have liked, but well organized race
Event warmup:

short swim is all I had time for

Comments:

Overall good. Time was a bit better than I expected given little practice. Half wet suit was perfect.
What would you do differently?:

I need to learn how to draft. Swim is becoming clear to simply conserve energy and not go quickly. More efficient stroke also needed.

Also knowledge that you can recover somewhat on bike so its okay to breathe heavier at times on swim
