Comments:

This was the coldest swim I have ever done. I have heard people say how they couldn't breath in cold water and I frankly never believed it. Now I do! The water literally took my breath away. I started to get my breathing under control at about the turn around point. Then all I could smell and taste was gas from the boat! I was glad when this swim was over!
I do not have a time split for just the run, as the time includes swim, T1, and the bike (53:09). This is an estimate.

Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, had some water and fruit, then headed off for some yummy pizza with my family.

Event comments:

Even given the problems, this was still a fun little race. I will probably do it again and was offered 1/2 off registration for next year for the confusion.

Course: On paper before the race started, the course looked confusing. It didn't help that once on the course a group of us got directed the wrong way at an intersection by a volunteer. We ended up on the highway, way off course. We finally found our way back on course. I am estimating a couple extra miles. The course itself was challenging and hilly, but a lot of fun.
