Comments:

Had good swim. I didn't have the confidence to start in the right spot in line. I should have started with the 5 min group, instead I started with 6:30. Had to pass a few people, and even ended up walking in the shallow end to get around two other swimmers.
What would you do differently?:

Start in the right spot, and swim a little harder.

The bike kind of did me in. The course was very rough, lots of turns, and soaked.
What would you do differently?:

Train more on the bike

It was kind of a suprise going from bike to run. The legs are little rubbery and my right ankle hurt a lot.

After the ankle and legs got used to running, it wasn't too bad. I wished it was a little be longer.
