Wasn't terrible for my first event. I now see where I'm weak and what to focus on in training.
What would you do differently?:

more open water training

Comments:

a little trouble with the buckle. left shoe strap came out of loop, and wasted time trying to feed it back through with no luck. Finished course with shoe unstrapped, but had little affect on overall time.
What would you do differently?:

Rig shoe straps to prevent from coming undone.

Started at good pace to loosen legs up, and found a good breathing rhythm.
What would you do differently?:

Could have picked up the pace sooner in the course.
