feet were soaked so I had a hard time getting into my shoes so I lost a few seconds there. grabbed my stuff and dropped a gel while trying to get in my pocket so that cost me a few seconds too.

definitely taking the time to put socks on next time, blistered the backs of my feet.

Comments:

ran tempo pace. run seems long due to the layout. blistered the back of my feet with no socks and the timing chip strap cut into my leg the entire time. next time i won't forget my chip band.
What would you do differently?:

run faster :) maybe do more speed work next year.
Post race
Warm down:

walked a little bit, had some pizza and took my time gathering my gear.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

run/swim speed skills. just need to get more efficient on both legs.

Event comments:

Great race. I would recommend to anyone. All phases are challenging but none are really hard.
