The swim was relaxing and enjoyable. After rounding the bouy the wind had picked up and there was some chop. The sun was also in out eyes but they had a red line / rope below the bouys that you could follow. Not bad.

Wet suit cut into my neck. Fix that.

Comments:

I drank a dixie cup of heed at almost every aid station. I was concerned with my quads (inside). Wasn't sure if it was fatigue or elctrolytes. We finished but it was a slow run.
Post race
Warm down:

Just walk

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My trianing was cut short do to a race cancellation. But I am still happy with my results. The goal was to finish and I did that with out walking even if I was slow.

Event comments:

It was unfortunate that the race that I was planning to do on Aug 5 here in Portland OR was cancelled but this was a memorable event.
