Comments:

At one point I realized there weren't many people around me--I looked up and found I had drifted too far right so I had to angle back into the group, No real harm done.
What would you do differently?:

Stayed much further to the left with the main group
Transition 1

Comments:

I forgot to pin my number on the tank top I pulled on after the swim so I tucked it into my wetsuit and had to pin it on during transition. No biggie, but that took up some time.
What would you do differently?:

Pinned the darn number on!

Decent transition, but started to leave and realized I forgot my fuel belt and had to zip back to get it.

Not forget fuel belt!

Surprisingly I loved the run too! I felt great--started slow. The first part was a pretty steep uphill--I ran it while many walked. Just felt better and better throughout the whole run.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing! Pushed a little harder maybe? So proud I didn't walk a single step.
Post race
Warm down:

Hit the docks at the park and jumped back into the Snake! It felt sooooo amazing!!!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Genetics :-)
